Penge for a first time buyer

Has anyone recently moved to Penge as a first time buyer? Or can anyone in the know give a breakdown of which parts of Penge are most affordable? It's long been seen as a more affordable option in SE London but it seems to have become less so in recent years. Are the more affordable areas around Anerley station like the Groves estate worth a look? Overall Penge seems like it has a nice community feel that we're quite keen on but I would imagine street to street things can vary a lot.
