| Description: | My girlfriend used to live here when she was at university and I often stayed over. One thing I liked about this place was that I felt safe no matter what time I went out on to the high road and surrounding streets. This area came 8th out of all the boroughs as the safest place to live which makes this place a comfortable place to live. The properties are all large. Many of them have undergone conversions into large 2 or 3 bed flats, but there is still a decent amount of family homes to be had. There are a lot of owner occupiers (mainly from the Jewish and some Japanese) and they will compete as good as the next man to get the property they want. The area is seen to be the cheaper alternative to areas such as Hampstead as the area is as quiet as its contemporaries. I quite like this area as it is probably one of the best yielding areas out of all the NW postcodes and there is no shortage of demand from all tenant groups – students, young professionals, young families and older families. Its only 6 miles from the centre, close to the A406 and more significantly close to the A1. This makes this place ideal for people requiring suburban living, proximity to central London and easy access to the northern home counties. | |||||||
