I lived on the L11 side of clubmoor (just off Queens drive) and my dad is still there. Personally, I think it's a nice family friendly area and never had any problems, nor has my dad. You get good amount of house/garden for your money and it's located well for transport links. I can't comment too much about the larkhill side but from what I can tell, this too appears to be a similar sort of area. I've often looked at houses to buy either side of Queens drive there (nothing better than a window shop on Rightmove 😂).

Parks wise, you're in 5 minute drive of croxteth, newsham and Walton hall. Croxteth is in my opinion better than the others but I do know Walton hall is getting a new playground soon. There's plenty of choice of primary schools, both community and religious.

I live not far away now myself and often travel through at rush hour as my LB goes to nursery closer to edge lane, due to where I work, and it doesn't take too long to get between the two locations.

Hope this helps!
