Around The Block
North London is home to many of the capital's most sought-after neighbourhoods. Nearly half of the city's population lives here, drawn by the unique mix of cosy village centres, architectural masterpieces, and distinct local high streets.
The area genuinely offers something for everyone. You will find family-oriented spots like Highgate and Crouch End, which maintain a proper village feel with local pubs and artisan bakeries. A short ride away, places like Camden and Kentish Town offer endless street art, food markets, and live music venues.
Green spaces are a major selling point. Properties near the sprawling Hampstead Heath or the woodland trails of Highgate command premium prices. Whether you are walking the Regent’s Canal path or relaxing in Finsbury Park—a 46-acre green space—outdoor leisure is always nearby.
New Property in North London
Living in North London is generally considered premium, especially in districts like Islington and Highgate. However, the vast area also provides more affordable options further out, such as Enfield or specific parts of Haringey, making it highly attractive to both investors and first-time buyers.
For luxury family living, Parkland Views in Highgate provides high-end homes near Muswell Hill. If you prefer the central, tech-heavy edge of the area, Hoxton West Buckland Street offers modern apartments ready to move into.
Those looking for more space outside the immediate centre might consider Chase View in Oakwood or The Blenheim in High Barnet. Other active developments include Wingspan Walk in Bruce Grove and Ridgemount Gardens in Enfield, which cater well to commuters seeking greenery and local amenities.
