Description:	Notice above – there’s no tube. This is why it’s a hotspot! Why? Well its like Crouch End (see Crouch End’s entry above). Due to the omission of the tube means that it lays kind of undiscovered and keeps the city workers out. The area has a family feel and this is why when people move to Muswell Hill they rarely move. Muswell Hill is a choice not a neccesity. There are more houses than flats which is unusual for London, not many conversions have gone on as would have been expected. This is a safe bet. Expect to have long term tenants, typically families, and a modest return on the investment. Properties in this area are a safe pension and/or a home to retire to. The area is well serviced for family type residents. Wide roads, plenty of good supermarkets, family orientated pubs and restaurants and leisure facilities for a growing family such as a cinema, a communal swimming pool and sports complex.
