Situated just north of London, Enfield’s proximity to the capital whilst being firmly nestled in the green belt has unsurprisingly made it quite the attractive place to move to.
More so than that, the town is just a highly practical place to live too.
Enfield’s transport connections to London
Enfield’s connected to London via 4 tube stations and 6 overground stations. The town also has a reliable bus network of its own to and enjoys easy access to several A-roads and motorways.
The town is also less than an hour’s drive away from both Heathrow and Stansted airports.
Enfield has a property market on the rise
The average home in Enfield is worth £532,401 according to Rightmove, considerably above the UK’s average of £463,000.
As an investment, homes in Enfield outperform many others across the UK. Having said that, if you have a tighter budget to work with, moving to Enfield may require you to downsize. We have a number of storage units in Enfield if you are considering a downsize though.
There are also plenty of things to do in Enfield
For anyone considering moving to Enfield, it’s encouraging to know that there’s plenty to do there too and plenty of things to do in Enfield for free! There are a number of zoos in and around the area of Enfield, including the Cedars Nature Centre which offers junior zookeeper experiences for the kids. You can see animals such as banded armadillos, meerkats, tenrecs, and even a Burmese python. Enfield is also close to the Hertfordshire Zoo, which announced the addition of sun bears in 2021. Sun Bear Heights, its crowning glory, is a Malaysian mixed exhibit with sun bears, otters and binturong coexisting.
