We may be biased, but we think Hendon is one of the best places to rent a property in London. There are plenty of appealing aspects to Hendon which is why we think you would love to live here. Homes in Hendon provide excellent accommodation for those looking to live in a thriving community close to the city.
Hendon appeals to people of all ages, with locals drawn to the community spirit that shines through in every aspect of life in the area. The excellent transport connections to central London and beyond provide a big draw to London’s growing workforce. There is no shortage of amenities nearby, so young professionals have an easy commute to work during the week and the option to dine out in the weekends, without having to pay central London-style prices.
Locals enjoy living in Hendon because there are several pleasant green spaces which are perfect for walking one’s dog and many family-friendly parks too. From Hendon Park and Brent River Park to Brent Reservoir (known locally as the Welsh Harp, taken from the name of a long-gone pub) there is something for everyone here.Locals say Hendon ‘feels’ like is a nice place to live because there’s a lovely sense of community here. There are several established, welcoming communities including a large Jewish population with an overall age demographic varying from young professionals and young families to people ages 45+ with established roots in the area.
Hendon is the perfect place if you wish to circumvent the higher rental prices that are found in prime London zones. You can get good-quality accommodation with reasonable duration commuter journeys so your still near to Central London’s many attractions. Another benefit to not being in the more central parts of London is that car ownership is understandably more common. Most properties have at least one car, especially since parking is easy and relatively inexpensive.
