You get a LOT of property for your £££ particularly if you like big old houses or want MASSIVE flats as lots of old guest houses sold off as tourism declined and they are HUGE.

All those middle aged white men wandering round the seafront with their shorts and Engerland vest tops? nee good for you Benny boy, you`d wank yersel daft in the first week at all the opportunities for "gammon-spotting"
Yeah I've seen 7 bed student houses with a self-contained flat for £160,000. Mentally cheap! Some huge properties, like you say.

As nice as Scarborough harbour is you just can't compare it with The Port of Dover.

Ha'way Peachy - a regional airport better than Heathrow? Maybe in terms of a short distance to get around...

Less immigrants, no wonder the gammons all end up on the seafront, like "pigs" in shit.

My mate lives there and he absolutely hates it and would move back tonight if possible.
Hope this helps.

My sister (no) moved down there a few year ago. Seems alright to me. Small place, you can walk most places. Parking is shit, think she pays for a permit to park on her own street. Seafront gets daft busy in the summer but a few streets away from it you don't even notice.
Dunno about driving down there sub-90 minutes mind, done it a few times and about 1h 40-45 is the best I can muster. I don't cane it, but I'm not driving like a nana either. Nice drive once Boro is out the way though.
When the weather is bad they close some of the roads coming out back up this way. My mam got stuck last year when I was meant to pick her up, the snow had a couple of roads closed so I just left her down there.

That's about it, don't live in Scarborough if you want to be anywhere else without chew even in winter, summer is a nightmare.
I would come inland on the wolds towards Malton
Fuck me.. I clicked on the bloody word on the phone too

Malton or even somewhere like Driffield where you are half way between York and Hull therefore having access to both for work and with better roads. Not a single decent road out of Scarborough. A64 to York is awful and in summer ends up with monster jams on it, A171 Whitby way ace if you have a motorbike or a sports car that you love to drive but it rolls and winds and in both winter and summer is shit for different reasons. Sutton bank way is equally shit.
Railways to Hull takes forever, railway to York not great and not frequent enough.
On the flip side if you have a well paid job in Scarborough or run a successful business there and love a quieter life (a non City life) then you will enjoy it.

Problem with Whitby is work. Unless you are going to be self employed what will you be doing? Actually not being fair there, like anywhere some decent paid public sector jobs but once you want to change employer/career you are likely to be FUBAR.
