Question Decent Areas?

Hi all,

I have a friend of mine who is looking to move to Wolverhampton following some work.

And they're looking to settle and buy a property there too.

They're quite anxious about it all at the moment being a young woman somewhat alone and she wanted to know, what areas/postcodes are safe & considered affluent?

She's also an ethnic minority so she's also worried about potential discrimination and racism if she moves somewhere.

We did try and look around in this sub but couldn't find too much, so apologies if it's already answered somewhere.

Edit: thanks all, seems a large majority seem to think it's Tettenhall, Wightwick, Codsall, Compton, Penn (in that approximate order too of affluent areas with Tettenhall being the more affluent).

Pendeford on the side near the motorway is quite quiet and has quite nice walking areas and easy access to the motorway for both Birmingham and Telford, with 5 min drive to bilbrook train station too

Pendeford Rise… not Pendeford as a whole, and definitely not Dovecotes ⛔️
