5 Reasons people are moving to Lincolnshire

While the bright lights of city life undoubtedly have their unique appeal, it seems as though more people are choosing to swap their busy city lives for the quiet comfort of country living, and Lincolnshire is proving to be the destination of choice.  

Thanks to an incredible combination of rolling countryside, stunning coastline and vibrant nightlife, Lincolnshire provides the best of all worlds. If you are considering ditching city life, pay attention because we break down the top five reasons people are moving to Lincolnshire. 

Outstanding natural beauty

A distinct downside to city living is that you’re often surrounded by dirty streets, crowds, and constant traffic. Not exactly the stuff dreams are made of. Lincolnshire, on the other hand, is a wonderland of natural beauty. From the rolling Wolds in the north to a 30-mile stretch of golden coastline on the east and the agricultural flatlands of the south, Lincolnshire’s natural beauty is truly unmatched. 

Work opportunities

While many businesses are still feeling the pinch of COVID-19, Lincolnshire has a thriving economy and a low unemployment rate. While many of its biggest businesses are related to the horticulture, agriculture, packing and transport industries, there are still plenty of opportunities for small independent businesses and up and coming startups to thrive.  

Unmatched community spirit

Affectionately known as Yellowbellies, the residents of this charming community are the definition of a friendly bunch, and they take pride in where they live. Moving to a new city, whether you’re moving on your own or with a family, can be intimidating. Starting someplace new always comes with the fear of loneliness and isolation, but this jolly bunch will have you feeling at home in no time.  

Housing is more affordable

The rising cost of housing is a real problem, particularly for young professionals just starting out or young couples with a growing family. According to the Office for National Statistics, housing in Lincolnshire costs far less than the average cost of a house in London. It’s common knowledge that purchasing a home in a sought-after city costs far more, but the reality is that it’s not always worth the price. Country living is clearly the way to go. 

Great for families

When it comes to creating a perfect environment for children to thrive, Lincolnshire wrote the book! With wide-open spaces for children to enjoy, a low crime rate, and an unmatched community spirit, it’s clear why families around the UK are choosing to pack up and set up a home in Lincolnshire. It’s the kind of place golden childhood memories are made of. From quality schools to a vibrant university city and the type of environment people dream of spending their twilight years, Lincolnshire truly covers every base.
