Poole, Dorset's largest town and industrial centre is often referred to as 'the St. Tropez of the south coast' and 'the Florida Keys of British beach resorts', and over the years has become one of the most exclusive and desirable places to live in the UK. With its lively harbour, wonderful award winning beaches, exciting water sports and marinas, and beautiful countryside including the New Forest, this is truly the perfect place to set down roots or establish a holiday home. As well as developments of new housing, older traditional houses can be found in the areas around Poole Old Town, in Lower Parkstone, Ashley Cross and Whitecliff & Poole Park. Estate agents in Poole say some of the reasons people choose to live in Poole are because it is one of the most beautiful areas to live, it has an unbeatable quality of life, is unrivalled when it comes to sports and leisure culture, has excellent schools, colleges and higher education, and is a safe place to live. The Full Sail Ahead Regeneration Project, one of the largest urban regenerations in the South of England, will act as a catalyst for further investment across the town, raising the profile of Poole even further in the future, and ensuring that property for sale in Poole becomes even more desirable.
