Moving back to Middlesbrough.

People say this all the time and it's usually when they've spent zero time here. Almost word for word what my girlfriend said when she wanted us to live in Redcar and now she kicks herself over dragging her feet.

I grew up in hemlington and coulby and wouldn't trade it for Ingleby at all. There's a walk along the leven behind our house with horses, donkeys, highland cows, alpacas etc, I can be on great bike ride routes within 5 minutes, cycle paths all around the estate and into Stockton, it's got bars, restaurants, supermarkets, farm shops on the doorstep, the community is really good. Yarm, Thornaby, Stockton all right nearby. Every part of Ingleby has walking routes around it without the need for going to fairy dell.

There's loads of things I see people say about Ingleby all the time about being soulless, houses all look the same, houses too close together etc and none of it is true. I spent lockdown running round every street in Ingleby and it's got a massive variety of houses from terraces to unreal massive houses and most streets are completely different.

Everyone in our street has been really great and loads of fundraising going ok for definitely machines, community markets every month at local pub and any issues get sorted quickly.

The below is 2 minutes walk from my house but every section of Ingleby has access to forest or river walks around it and all linked by cycle paths and walking / running routes.

The pathway off Sober Hall. Walk the dogs down there in the summer. (y)
 
All depends on your personal circumstances, have you got kids etc ? Personally I would look at Linthorpe and Acklam good areas great schools decent shops bars etc
 
When I read threads like this I'm often stuck by how often folk who live in IB seem to go ott about how mint a place it is to live.

To paraphrase the Chapman Family, "Is it a cult?".

Yeah you are right it's totally a cult to like where you live. No one does that.
 
You could buy a semi 3 bed 3 living rooms 2 bathrooms near me for that price. Really quiet. We paid £174k 17 years ago and they don't go for much more now. Which is crazy. The detached bungalows go for £300k+
Marton ts7 8 area.

New Lidl/ALDI opening soon at the old Art School, plenty of traffic there.

I drove round the area looking for Middlesbrough Little Theatre - I thought the traffic was quite light for a well developed urban area - although it was off peak.

I would suspect the Green Lane area around the old Art may become a lot busier when the supermarket is built. Time will tell. Did you find the Little Theatre though.

To be fair it’s only people defending ingleby because others started putting it for.. (possibly as banter)

The biggest problem IB has is social media… everything gets posted on one of the Facebook groups straight away then everyone thinks its getting worse..
I’ve been here 9 years and had very little trouble… I do enjoy the groups tho, there’s some fun to be had 😂
 
Norfolk - Yes I did, it was the first time I had been in the building - its not a part of the Boro I know very well - I tend to use Marton Road, Trunk Road, Ormesby Lane, Cargo Fleet Lane, to go to games, when up in the area.

I used to think of the Green Lane and Cambridge Road area with the Art College, Kirby College, Cricket ground and Rugby Club as a bit of a middle-class area of the Boro and they are not too many of them.
