Living in Chase & Crews Hill
Enfield 004 sits at the commuter-belt end of north London, and that shapes almost everything about it. The neighbourhood has a settled, suburban feel — mostly families and longer-term residents rather than the transient young-professional churn you'd see closer to Zone 2. Around 63% of households own their home, which is high for London, and that ownership culture tends to produce well-maintained streets and relatively stable communities.
Rents here are meaningful but not extreme by London standards. A two-bedroom comes in at around £1,710 a month — roughly 40% above the UK median for that size, but well below what you'd pay in zones 1 or 2. Three-bedrooms average about £2,028, making this one of the more practical options for families who need the extra room without stretching to inner-city prices. Council tax (Band D) runs to about £2,268 a year.
The neighbourhood skews noticeably younger than retirement age but also older than the typical Zone 2 renter hotspot. Nearly a quarter of residents are under 18 — one of the higher shares you'll find in Greater London — and couples with children make up around 22% of households. It's genuinely family-oriented. The degree-holder share sits at around 38%, broadly in line with London norms.
Practically, the nearest mainline rail station is roughly 700 metres away — about a nine-minute walk — and public-transport times into central London come in at under ten minutes. That's the headline draw. Around 35% of residents work from home on any given day, so the area has adapted to hybrid working patterns too. Gigabit broadband covers about 78% of premises, which helps.
