This small community is bustling with things to do and groupss to join. There is an active community centre which acts as a place for many of the local groups to meet. It only gained town status fairly recently in 1992 but has made the transition well while retaining its village charms.

Well worth a look is the Castle Park Arts Centre, just off Main Street. It operates as a charitable trust and has an historic clock tower. It holds numerous workshops and classes as well as having a good gift shop and cafe. One not to miss is the market which has run in the town since 1681 when it was granted permission by King Charles II. It is popular with locals and visitors and is situated on Main Street, believed to be one of the widest streets in England.

The location is also a plus point for Frodsham. It provides easy access to nearby Northwich, Helsby, Runcorn, Widnes and Warrington as well as a good commuter trail for people working in other parts of Cheshire, Merseyside and, at a stretch, parts of Lancashire.

Average property prices can only be described as erratic. The cost of a home over the past ten years has dipped as low as £160,000 to a peak of just under £285,000. At the beginning of 2007 prices took a beating with a dip in average prices of almost £100,000. This has now recovered with figures well on their way to recouping that loss.

Today, houses are on the pricey side and are pitched at bigger budgets. Many cost more than £500,000 with a few tipping the all important million pound mark. But most of all, the name of the game in this market town is definitely character with many of the homes bursting with original features and a tale to tell. There is also a strong market for new homes with developments popping up in the centre as well as a selection on the outskirts. The good news is that these developments are tailored to a variety of budgets, providing a good step onto Frodsham's property ladder. So why not make the leap?
