Belfast in Northern Ireland ranks as the best city in the UK to raise a family by examining the quality of life, cost of rent, and the number of attractions.
When moving to a city to raise a family, there are a number of aspects parents often take into consideration. From finance and childcare, to attractions and general health, choosing the right city plays a vital role in the upbringing of a family.
CIA Landlord Insurance has looked into the best cities to raise a family, gathering data on the key areas that would be important for parents. The metrics included analyzing the cost of rent, childcare and cost of bills alongside the number of schools, attractions, quality of life and pollution.
