The\npopulation of East Anglia is rising \u2013 and that\u2019s official. According to the\nOffice for National Statistics, this is partly because more people are being\nborn in the region than are dying here. But it\u2019s mainly because people are\nchoosing to move to this attractive region, either from within the UK or from\nabroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0As a leading moving company based in East Anglia, Hamiltons Removals have identified five of the most popular places to move to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bury St\nEdmunds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This west\nSuffolk town was rated the best place to live in the East of England in a 2019\nnational newspaper survey. It scored highly for its high-quality schools, while\nits diverse arts scene means it now offers a comedy club, an art-house cinema\nand a jazz group alongside more traditional fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bury\u2019s historic past also made it a hit with the judges. There are still plenty of impressive town houses and chocolate-box cottages mixed in among the more modern developments. And the town\u2019s striking cathedral and Norman Tower (above) are both located close to the Abbey Gardens, the horticultural jewel in Bury\u2019s crown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Norwich<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Described as\n\u2018a fine city\u2019 on many signs, it seems that the county town of Norfolk is a\nhappy one as well. When it comes to being satisfied with where you live, the\ncity is in the UK\u2019s top 10, according to a report by the Metro newspaper. Norwich\nresidents rated their city highly for factors such as friendliness, overall\nappearance and personal safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With two universities (the UEA and the Norwich University of the Arts), a diverse cultural offering and some comparatively inexpensive property prices, the city is also a popular place to move to for young people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Woodbridge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This east Suffolk\ntown has scored consistently highly in national surveys for its high quality of\nlife. Its historic attractions, including the working Tide Mill (pictured\nabove) and the famous Anglo-Saxon burial ground at nearby Sutton Hoo, have\nhelped keep it near the top of the rankings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other factors in Woodbridge\u2019s favour are its strong community spirit and its closeness to the coast.\u00a0 And the Thoroughfare, which contains a good mix of independent stores alongside the bigger retail names, was recently on the shortlist for being the best high street in Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cambridge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though\nits narrow streets can easily get clogged up with traffic, and its property\nprices are high, Cambridge is still one of the most popular places in East\nAnglia to move to. As well as a university which is famous throughout the\nworld, people moving to Cambridge can expect to benefit from high rates of\nemployment \u2013 and enjoy a high life expectancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Petersfield area, east of the city centre, has scored highly in more recent quality of life surveys, thanks to its range of independent shops and popular pubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Manningtree<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Essex\ntown on the banks of the River Stour is also one of the best places to live in\nthe East of England, according to the national newspaper survey. Part of its\nattraction is its location \u2013 the delights of Constable Country and several\nnature reserves are on its doorstep, while its proximity to London means that\ncommuting to the capital, by road or rail, is comparatively easy. Stansted\nAirport is less than an hour away, and it is close to both Colchester and\nIpswich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Manningtree itself has plenty to recommend it, with its schools, its shopping and its social scene all coming in for praise. The town also has its own beach \u2013 a small, artificial one in a corner of the estuary that runs up to neighbouring Mistley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
