Bowness vs New Brighton for a young family - which would you pick?

My recommendation: spend a weekend in Scenic Acres before buying. Walk around, check out the local shops, talk to people. You'll get a feel for whether it's your vibe pretty quickly.

Springbank Hill is a great choice! We've been here for 15 years. The walkability is good, tons of local shops, and the community association is really active.

Anyone else have a similar experience?
