Why move to the Isle of Wight?

Quality of Life

As soon as you step off the ferry, you will feel different. No fumes, less noise. Your job may be challenging, there will likely be bad days. But when they happen, a beach will never be more than half an hour away.

A Place for Families

The Island is a good place for children to grow up. Not just because of activities and a ‘holiday-like feeling’. Many families move here because it is safer and slower than what a buzzing city could ever offer. 

Diverse Culture

From breathtaking events and cultural festivals, to a rich showcase of local history and crafty wonders. There is literature, music, art, and a cultural concentration that shouldn’t exist in a 150 square mile area… yet it does.

Sense of Community

People on the Island know each other well and want to support you where they can. Once you establish yourself locally, a real sense of community will start to kick in. It feels nice, like you truly belong here.

Your Own Pace

Begin slowly, breathe in, stroll across a coastal path or cycle through tranquil trails. But the pace can pick up fast. An afternoon paragliding down a cliff can finish with a carnival masquerade in a vibrant town. It is all down to you.

Natural Beauty

Coastal plains, woodlands, steep chalk downs, river seascapes and dramatic sea cliffs. There is a reason why the Island is so popular with tourists. It is beautiful here. An entire showcase of England’s nature, on our big rock.
