Huntingdonshire?

I was over in this area (St. Ives/Huntingdon/Godmanchester) for a job interview last week, and would love to hear from anyone who lives in any of those towns -- or other places nearby I might have missed. What do you like best and least about living there, and what are some especially nice/nasty places to live?

Pssst, it is in Cambridgeshire now. There is no Huntingdonshire anymore.

Like I said in the other post, it is going to depend on where you plan to work.  If you need to depend on the A14 it could be very messy, but the guided bus should be open in late summer.  It should have opened in April though. 

As for the three, according to my not very helpful workmates, St. Ives has a tendency to flood, but is very pretty.  Huntingdon is a bigger city and can have some very rough spots and no one seemed to know much about Godmanchester other than they all seemed to think it is/or will be soon swallowed up by Huntingdon. 

Sorry, no one I know has any kids.  They all have less to do in terms of museums and the such due to the University, but if you are working in Hunt. then commute from Cambridge is a killer. 

I did know that Huntingdonshire doesn't officially exist any more, but I still used the term as it seems to be pretty widely understood to refer to that particular corner of Cambs., even if it isn't an official designation any more. All very confusing.

Thanks for the response, though. Godmanchester is walking distance from Huntingdon, and all that really separates the two is a couple of fields. It's definitely not much of a stretch to picture the two becoming joined together fairly soon.

I work for a non-profit and lots of our "ladies who lunch" live at addresses that say near Godmanchester, so it seems to me that there must be some pretty pricey houses near there.

I lived in St Neots, which is about 12 miles south of Huntingdon. It was easily the most boring place I've lived in my life, with the only redeeming features being that it's half an hour's drive from Cambridge and there is a good train service to London.
