Advantages: Everything is conviently located and organized.

Disadvantages: Lacks personality.

Milton Keynes, is one of those new modern towns, styled after the straight rows and broad sidewalks of America. Everything is boxed and horizontal or vertical to something else, and its hard to get lost, even though the houses all look very similar...

But it has its good sides, a lovely equestrian center is located in the center of this suburban paradise, with bridle paths that wind in and out of the parks and houses. There are large parks and serene ponds and even a forest, all within walking distance from your home. Not to mention one of the biggest car-boots on Sunday that I have ever seen!

This is a new, but surprisingly cozy neighborhood, and even though they don''t have a local pub that has been around for over 200 years, the massive shopping complex more then makes up for it. I have been in danger of never finding my way out of its sprawling domain, thankfully with a map and compass I made it out, but not before many hours and even more purchases later.

If you are looking for quaint, rustic living then this isn''t the place for you. But if the modern town appeals to you then come along and join the MK club!

Personally I found the town too modern for my tastes, but there was something to it, that appealed to my organized side. Only four stars for its lack of individuality. But other then that, it is a well laid out and modern neighborhood.

Summary: If you like your roads straight and the modern lifestyle then this is the place for you.
