Happiness comes with a price, however, with average asking prices in Leamington Spa at £330,848, compared with a national average of £310,003, according to Rightmove.
More than 17,000 people were asked how happy they are with aspects of where they live. Community spirit, feeling safe, the friendliness of locals, the amenities and local services available and earning enough to live comfortably were all taken into account.
