What's It Like To Live in East Grinstead?

East Grinstead is an affluent, thriving and rapidly growing town with a historic centre - its high street features the longest continuous run of 14th century timber-framed buildings in England - with an ever increasing number of modern high street chains and specialist boutiques jostling for space. Yet for all that, Ashdown Forest, with hundreds of sprawling acres is on your doorstep. Both London and the coast are under an hour away as are the major towns of Tunbridge Wells, Crawley and Haywards Heath. No wonder so many people choose to live here and commute. There are many primary schools; playgroups and nurseries; two secondary schools of good reputation and several private schools. Standards of property to rent in East Grinstead are high and there's a wide choice too, including new build apartments in the town centre and larger properties with extensive grounds in its surrounding areas such as Forest Row.

Entertainment

You won't be bored here! There's a thriving social scene with a good selection of pubs, wine bars and restaurants. A couple of nightclubs provide an option and there are cinemas, theatres and a sports complex. Great walking is there for the taking on Ashdown Forest and you can play Pooh Sticks from the actual bridge made famous by A.A. Milne.
