| Description: | On the borders of Hertfordshire it is an easy exit out of London. Its next to the A406 and not its not too far from the A1 and M1 exits. Flats for sale are readily available and the community is a mixed one – commuters as well as locals. I find this area a safe place to put your money. You have tenant demand from both the young and the old so you are not relying on one type of tenant. Not as you are if you have a flat in the Docklands where only a city worker would consider living there. The area is next to the very green and very expensive Totteridge. The benefits of this area can be easily accessed as most residents of Friern Barnet are car owners. The tube station listed above is a good 10 minute walk but the area is serviced by New Southgate Station which takes you in to Kings Cross. Friern Barnet is a much cheaper alternative to Totteridge if you can find the equivalent type of housing – basically large houses. Capital growth will be realized here when everyone is priced out of the surrounding affluent areas. | |||||||
