I am not certain, which Southampton you refer to, but there appears to be only one Southampton in the UK. Therefore, I decided you probably were not asking about one of three places in the US named Southampton. So, I will inform you about Southampton in the UK.
Were I moving there, I would go for a place by the sea. Boats, ships and shipyards always fascinate me. There is so much history in this area of Southampton. The Southern Daily Echo Internet Edition, appears to provide the best overall information about Southampton, for information about housing, schools, and shopping, etc. You will need to go to the website link below, and from this home page, you will be able to find all the information you want.
Since, I do not have any information as the type of jobs you would need or the ages or grade levels of your children, I cannot suggest schools. I also do not know, if you are seeking public schools or christian schools. There are a lot of homes for sale, however not knowing your price range or size of home you seek, I cannot give any definite information.
But, on the Daily Echo website you will schools and homes listed and the schools are rated.
As, to where to live, I suggest you do some inquiring through this website and other Southampton websites. Then make a decision as to the schools you want your children to attend. You will want to live in the area of the schools you choose. Then you will ready to choose a home site in Southampton. Often, if we choose a home and area first, and later learn the schools are not what we want for the children, we are then forced, to send the children to schools, in which they are not receiving the best education.
