We're looking for the best place to live in Liverpool

We're looking for the best place to live in Liverpool according to you, our readers.

Liverpool is massively diverse, and each suburb and district has its own character. Walk a mile through the city and you'll see for yourself how much each of the distinct areas of the city has to offer.

The city was named the best place to live in the North West 2023 by the Sunday Times, beating Manchester and parts of the Lake District to the title thanks to Scousers' famous community spirit and many other reasons, it said, "to be optimistic about Liverpool."

Toxteth

Toxteth was singled out as the city's 'top district' by the Sunday Times. Toxteth has a vibrant and diverse community, great links to the city centre and lush parks part of the reason behind it's honourable mention. Princes Park is one of many cherries on top of Toxteth, as is the Granby Street Market and Lodge Lane.

Take our poll and tell us where you think is the best place to live in the city. If it's not on the list, tell us where it is in the comments and we'll add it to the poll.

Aigburth

As of writing our poll is currently being led by two areas to the south of the city centre sharing joint first place. Aigburth is one of these current leaders.

Home of Otterspool nature reserve and with a more tranquil atmosphere than other places in the city, Aigburth boasts plenty of attractions with Lark Lane just minutes away and brick suburbs housing one of Liverpool's most creative communities.

Woolton

Joint-first with Aigburth is Woolton, an affluent suburb to the south east of the city centre. Woolton has a picturesque village centre and good access to other areas of the city including the city centre, Sefton Park and Calderstones.

Greenbank Park in Mossley Hill (Colin Lane/Liverpool Echo)

Mossley Hill

Bordered by Aigburth and Allerton, in third place as of writing in our poll is the suburb of Mossley Hill. Home of Penny Lane - made iconic by the Beatles' song - and once the temporary home of Freddie Mercury, Mossley Hill boasts a rich cultural history as well as stunning properties and buildings.

John Lennon and George Harrison were also pupils at Dovedale School, and Greenbank Park to the north of the suburb is one of the city's favourite parks.

All Saints Church in Childwall (Colin Lane)

Childwall

In third place currently is Childwall to the east of the city centre. Bordered by Belle Vale, Woolton and Mossley Hill, Childwall is home to the grade I listed All Saints church - the only remaining medieval church in the city.
