I live in Brighton so can help.
Portslade is the western part of Hove, between Hove and Shoreham. Bit of a mixed suburb, some of it is quite industrial and working-class and some of it is a bit posher, particularly Preston Village. I did door to door sales around there for a bit before I realised I was working for a bunch of shysters. Rottingdean is the other side of Brighton, can't tell you much about it as I've never been, but from what I hear it's just a nice coastal village. |

Rottingdean is a beautiful little coastal village just a couple of miles to the East of Brighton with all the usual features (narrow main street, old buildings, village green/pond and 13th century church). The village has strong associations with Rudyard Kipling. Definitely worth a visit.
On the other hand no-one would describe Portslade as being other than functional at best. |
