Where can I get space, greenery and a good commute to Euston for £600k?
I'm looking to buy either a 3-bed house (budget 600k) or a 2-3 bed flat (budget 500k). My workplace is a couple of stations away from Euston / Kings Cross and I need to commute 2/3 times a week
I was initially considering buying a flat in Zone 2 (given the current market downturn) but I've quickly realized that I don't really like Central london. Good restaurants are crowded to the point of brushing elbows. Roads are super narrow. A 500k flat is rarely more than 600 sq ft.
Things I value:
- space
- greenery
- safety
- <40min commute to Euston / Kings Cross
++ Extra bonus for areas that are walkable to shops / nice restaurants.
I'm current looking at St Albans for Flats and HH/Aplsey/ for houses.
The downside with St Albans is I'm probably going to get a flat at my budget (houses are out of reach).
The downside with HH is that I acn buy a house but I'm probably going to have to drive to St Alabns for enterrainment.
Any places you'd recommend?
