    I would say that living costs are generally slightly lower than the average for the south of England. House prices, for example, are lower than somewhere like Southampton (because of the hassle of a ferry ride) However, some things like petrol, for example, can be more expensive (for the same reason!!) In my experience, the commute can be ok, but will take time unless you live near Cowes or Ryde and work centrally in Portsmouth or Soton. How would you define "good" !!?

    The ferry crossing from the isle of wight is expensive so to commute back to portsmouth or southampton your talking a lot of money.Although property prices are very reasonable and it costs no more to live there than it does anywhere else .
