hello paytonsparks! I'm from southend on sea and i can understand how difficult it may be for someone who's new here to find a good place. i would advise you to stay away from blenheim ward, anywhere near the airport, places around high street and kursaal estate, and shoebury. i don't think you should look for any place from those areas. try to find a place in eastwood or west of chalkwell park. i know a few escorts who live there and they have told me that they are very happy with the neighborhoods. you should be able to find great apartments online. these areas are more expensive of course but i'm sure you'll be fine with that given they are more friendly and safe.
