Sutton doesn't give up much at a glance, and that's really the honest starting point here. There's no ward-level detail on record for this particular Sutton — no crime breakdown, no school roster, no named park or station to walk you past — which means the usual texture of a place, the thing that tells you what it feels like to stand on its high street, isn't something I can responsibly paint for you.
What is worth flagging is a slightly odd wrinkle in the data: the reference point sitting behind this profile is the Isle of Wight, an unitary authority, which suggests this Sutton is being benchmarked against an area many miles and a very different housing market away from the Sutton most people picture in south London or the one near Macclesfield. On that comparison, the Isle of Wight's typical house price sits a good way under the national median, and its crime rate per thousand is a touch below the England-wide picture too — but that tells you about the benchmark, not about Sutton itself, and I'd be careful about leaning on it too hard.
Nationally, England's median house price sits around £335,000, rents typically land near £1,070 a month, and the average area has roughly 11 hectares of green space per thousand residents — figures worth holding in mind as a general yardstick. The South East regional picture runs noticeably richer again, with a typical house price closer to £450,000 and rents nearer £1,350. Where Sutton itself falls between those two lines simply isn't something I can tell you from what's here.
So the honest answer to whether you could live here, and whether you'd regret it, is that I can't respond with any confidence for this particular Sutton — not without the local detail on its schools, its crime pattern, its transport links, or its own house price figures. If you can confirm which Sutton you mean, or share its postcode, I can give you the grounded, specific picture this question deserves rather than a set of national and regional averages standing in for the real thing.
