Where is the best place to live in Tenerife?

I know everyone has their own opinion and this one will be difficult, but if I wanted nice beaches, reasonably priced restaurants and bars, well built affordable apartments and not so many tourists, where would you recommend? I have been to El Medano and qute like it, any other places? I don't like anywhere too remote but with plenty of shops and amenities nearby.

I'm a fussy sod I know!

No reason at all not to have your own thread, but do have a read HERE of Marion's thread, which was asking a very similar question.

I'd say somewhere like San Juan on the west coast would fit your criteria.

Thank you, and thanks for the heads up on the other thread (I must have missed it)

I'm just new to the island and finding my way around. This forum is a goldmine of information. I guess I just need to get on out there and explore!

I think the west coast above the main holiday areas is worth investigating, as is somewhere up towards Arafo ... Santa Cruz not that far away for shops!

Just one thing occurs, if you're talking about beaches, be careful about buying anywhere too close to the sea without real advice about legality.

Hi we bought in Puerto de la Cruz, well just outside. We spent many holidays there of the years and therefore knew the area very well. It has the combination of both a holiday resort and local town. With Oratave and Santa Cruz within easy distance by bus. Although it is only a 'holiday home' at present, roll on retirement, especially with the winter we have just had in the UK.
