Where to (and not to) live near Finningley

A quick request about where to live near the soon to be opened Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport. Anyone know the area well enough to advise where and where not to choose? I have viewed several houses on the various online estate agents, but not visited the area yet.

The road links look pretty bad to the airport at the moment, but I guess will improve in time. One place I have seen is in Woodfield Plantation, Balby, which looking on a map appears to require a drive into Doncaster and then back out again to get to the airport. How long would this take when quiet.....and when busy?

Another is a modern hous between Rossington and New Rossington, which looks a fair bit closer, but appears to be more expensive? Any thoughts?

And one last question, what is the general state of play with the housing market over there at present? I have seen a couple that have been reduced in price, is it time of year or is the market a little depressed at present?

Thanks for any help.
