Hey all,

We have been searching for some time to find the perfect place for us to settle, and have found the perfect house for us (it has a Granny Flat!) but have some concern about how far out Brighton is.

My wife and I would most likely both have jobs within the technical and recruitment industries respectively and would most likely have to commute into the City Center (is that where the technical/commercial are is?).

Would it be doable whilst still keeping time to play with the kids of an evening, to commute every day to work? Is there a direct public transport link anywhere near by or should we be looking at going by car? If so, how long is the rough commute?

Also, if you know a bit about Brighton, it would be great if you could tell me a bit more about the area.
Do they have good schools? (We have a 6 and a 3 year old)
Family friendly town?
A few decent pubs and resteraunts?
Low or high crime rate?
Any "no-go" areas?

I would really appreciate as much info as possible as this could be the biggest decision of our lives :D

Thanks in advance
