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

The East of England\u2019s population has been rising steadily in recent years, as more and more people discover the advantages of one of the most unspoilt parts of the country. Here, Hamiltons Removals highlight five key reasons why moving to East Anglia \u2013 and particularly the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire \u2013 is a popular choice for people of all ages.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Job Prospects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The East of England has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the whole of the UK, while Cambridge, above, has one of the fastest growing economies. This is largely because the city has become a hub for the high-tech industries and scientific research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outlook for Suffolk is also bright, as it is an integral part of the country\u2019s food supply chain with a high area of land devoted to agriculture and arable farming. In the south-east of the county lies Felixstowe, the UK\u2019s largest container port, whilst Newmarket in west Suffolk is the home of British horse racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Norfolk, farming and fishing are key industries but the county also has a thriving energy sector, with renewable sources such as off-shore wind farms becoming increasingly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tourist Attractions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are thinking of house removals to Suffolk, Norfolk or Cambridgeshire, all three counties offer a wealth of different tourist attractions to suit all tastes. Suffolk boasts the medieval charms of the \u2018wool towns\u2019 of Lavenham and Long Melford, and the picturesque resorts of Aldeburgh and Southwold.  St Edmundsbury Cathedral in Bury St Edmunds is one of the most popular free places to visit in the East of England, according to a survey by industry group VisitBritain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cambridge also featured strongly in the survey, with its museums and art galleries such as the Fitzwilliam, a hit with thousands of visitors. The county also has one of the most popular paid-for attractions in the region \u2013 the Imperial War Museum at Duxford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norfolk\u2019s biggest draws include the natural beauty of the Broads National Park, and the history and splendour of the Castle Museum and art gallery in the centre of Norwich. If you want something more family-friendly, you could try Banham Zoo to the south of the county or The Poppy Line, the heritage rail line which runs between Sheringham and Holt in north Norfolk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The House Prices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are some hotspots which are best avoided, such as Cambridge city centre and the North Norfolk and Suffolk Heritage Coast, there are plenty of homes in the region which are more realistic propositions for house-hunters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most affordable house prices in Norfolk are to be found in Norwich itself, as well as North Walsham and King\u2019s Lynn. Further south, the picturesque market towns of Diss and Fakenham are also worth looking at.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Suffolk, parts of Ipswich, Mildenhall, Saxmundham, Lowestoft and Felixstowe still offer good value for money in the housing market. Homes in market towns such as Woodbridge, Sudbury and Hadleigh may also be within many household budgets.  In Cambridgeshire, the towns of March, Ely, Wisbech and Soham are all worth considering, particularly if you are looking for a three-bedroomed home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Transport Links<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people commute from East Anglia to London as well as to other parts of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. Norwich to London is just under two hours by train and Ipswich and Cambridge take around an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The region also has airports at Norwich and Cambridge, while Stansted, in nearby Essex, is London\u2019s third airport.\u00a0 If you want to travel by road then the A14, which links large parts of the region with the Midlands, has been undergoing an extensive programme of improvements recently. The A12 in Suffolk heads all the way into East London, via Stratford, and connects with the M25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Overall Quality of Life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the great advantages of East Anglia is that it is not too crowded, with parts of Norfolk in particular enjoying some of the lowest population densities in England. In all three counties there are plenty of attractive villages to choose from if you prefer the rural life; and in Suffolk and Norfolk you can enjoy some of the most beautiful and unspoilt coastlines in the UK. Crime levels, particularly in Suffolk and Norfolk, are among the lowest in England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
