Highfield Road
What with the new San Marcos and Winstons is becoming really quite posh and raising the area greatly in my opinion! Good variety of shops by day and take aways bars and restaurants by nights, I predict in a few years this area will be a very desirable area to live! All I can think of missing in the area is a nice coffee shop chain like Costa or Starbucks, sure there a few cafes down there, (Blueberries is crap by the way!) but nowhere to pop in for a decent coffee and a chance to sit and watch the world go by! What do you guys think?
(Preferably some decent comments rather than 'I like that area' to get enough to play the arcade)

I like that area. Haha joking..
Never thought I'd hear 'posh' and 'Highfield Road' in the same sentence! Last time I went down there some of the shops were awful! I don't like to be negative, but also, some of the locals who venture down there on Friday/Saturday/School Holidays aren't too pleasent either!

I live a stone's throw from Highfield Road and it is getting better and better all the time, there is now several nice restaurants like you say all that's missing is some coffee joints and maybe some boutiques wouldn't go amiss.

Fair comments Hutchinson but lets face it, where in Blackpool is posh? Its all relative. Compare it to most other areas of Blackpool and I'm struggling to think of a better area.
As I said, San Marcos moving to the site left vacant by Booth really raised the area but beside that Winstons is a nice little bar, Paramount has been a popular chinese for a long time and by day theres a booths, Coop, Tescos, nice local butchers which market local produce and a few delicatessence.
Main problem which needs sorting is the crowds of kids which hang around on a night and the farmer arms which yet again seems to be going seriously down hill!! Highfield road parks not the best either.
For the none locals - Highfield road is a street which runs parallel to Squires Gate lane (...which goes past the airport)

There are areas of Blackpool I would call 'posh'; Marton Moss has houses that can sell for £600-700k sometimes approaching the £1m mark, North Park Drive has some millionaires houses, Herons Reach has a millionaire's row and many parts of South Shore, Bispham and Marton are solidly middle-class areas.
