Southampton, Hampshire Rating
Southampton, or Soton as it’s known by the locals, is a small coastal city with a lot to offer. Southampton has had city status for about half a century, and has a population of around 240,000 as of the 2011 census.
There are two universities in Southampton, and a student population of over 30,000. This means that there is a very large population of university-age adults living in this area, which tends to have an impact on the city – it is perhaps the students who can be thanked for the good shopping, dining, and nightlife options in Southampton.
However, the city has a lot to offer families. Relatively affordable family homes, lots of green space, and good schools all draw families to the area. Good transport links by road, rail, and even by sea and air make this a good place for commuters to live, too.
Southampton was named the sixth best place to live in the UK by the 2015 Good Growth for Cities Index.
