Online House Hunter: It’s grin up north | Alan Cleaver | Independent Property Blogs

THE happiest place to live, apparently, is Carlisle. England’s most northerly city was identified by a Rightmove survey as the place where people are most content.

And just how do you measure happiness? Rightmove did it by questioning people about how happy they are with the decor in their homes, if they have enough living space, their general sense of well being, pride in their home, safety, neighbourliness and other factors. Interestingly, when asked about value of their home, the question was not whether it was good value, had gained in value or even if it had lost but whether they even worried about the value of their home. It seems the people of Carlisle aren’t too worried – probably because they are happy to stay living for many years in the same home.
