Overview of Enfield
The Enfield property market covers the following areas:
Enfield is a borough of two extremes. Created through administrative mergers, the borough is an uneasy mix of affluent suburbia and rundown council estates. Palmers Green is good for apartment hunters as many of the Edwardian four and five bedroom houses have been converted. Winchmore Hill offers Victorian terraces and cottages around the centre with larger Edwardian and mid-war semis in roads towards Southgate. Enfield Town has Victorian terraces, larger Edwardian semis and numerous purpose built blocks fringing the town centre. Larger Georgian and Victorian family houses set in substantial gardens can be found around Gentlemen's Row, Enfield Town's most sought after location. Hadley Wood is semi-rural and a favoured haunt of the rich and famous as well as being home to many of Arsenal and Tottenham's first team.
