Ramsgate offers many riches

The quaint village of Ramsgate is no longer just a quiet retirement area.
LONG regarded as one of the best holiday destination and there is a primary/high destinations on the lower South Coast, school in the area. Ramsgate has slowly evolved into a place where people prefer settling permanently.
"Because there are so many wonderful advantages to living in Ramsgate, people have started buying property here to settle permanently, as opposed to using them just as holiday homes,” says Natalie Herbert, director of the Brink Property Group.
"A happy result of more people settling permanently is that crime has significantly de¬creased, as there are a fewer number of homes standing empty,"
Security has further improved, with Ramsgate's own policing forum.
Having run the property business in Ramsgate for the last 10 years, Natalie has witnessed firsthand the positive growth and changes in the area. She herself moved to Ramsgate three years ago and says that she is much happier living there. '
"Ramsgate is still popular with tourists and we are proud of our beautiful beach. It is well looked after and there are full time lifesavers. There are also excellent restaurants in close proximity to holiday flats, so it's convenient for visitors.
"It also isn't just a place for retirement. We have a lot of first-time home buyers with young families moving in. The shopping centre is a convenient, one-stop shopping destination and there is a primary/high school in the area.
“The lovely bowling greens are enjoyed by all the residents, and we are proud to have a recovery centre in the area as well,” Natalie adds.
But what really makes Ramsgate standout is its lush, green I landscape, the charming and quaint little shops and restaurants that dot the area, and the friendly people who live there.
"Best of all, despite having all the amenities and conveniences found in bigger towns on the coast, our traffic volume isn't quite as high."
