Living in Lordship Lane & Broadwater Farm
What sets this part of Haringey apart from most of inner London is its tenure mix. Social housing accounts for around 42% of all households here — well above the London norm — which means the community skews towards longer-term, established residents rather than the transient professional population that dominates nearby areas. That brings a particular stability to the streets, but also means private renters are a minority, and the private rental stock is more limited than you'd find a few stops further into Zone 2.
On cost, the neighbourhood sits at the more accessible end of the London scale. A one-bedroom flat goes for around £1,630 a month, a two-bed for roughly £2,025, and a three-bed for about £2,340. Those figures are estimates — the official rent data only goes down to the council level, so we scale it using local sale prices to get a more accurate per-neighbourhood figure. Median house prices sit around £539,000, and getting to a deposit takes roughly 7.2 years at typical local earnings, which is demanding but less extreme than the central London average.
The people who live here skew younger-to-middle — nearly 28% are aged 18 to 34, and a further 22% fall in the 35–49 bracket. It's a genuinely diverse area, with an ethnic diversity index of 66 and just under half of residents born in the UK. Around 39% hold a degree, putting the area slightly above the national average on qualifications, though the median resident salary of around £37,500 suggests many are in mid-tier public or service-sector roles rather than the high-earning professional jobs that drive salaries in wealthier London postcodes.
The commute into central London is quick — roughly 14 minutes by public transport — which makes this a practical base for anyone working in the city. The nearest rail station is around 1.15 km away, and a further underground station sits roughly 1.25 km in the other direction. Nearly a third of residents work from home at least some of the time, reflecting the area's graduate workforce. See the streets and sub-areas below for more on how this neighbourhood breaks down.

Frequently asked
- Is Haringey 013 a nice place to live?
- It depends what you're after. It's a genuinely diverse, established community with quick Central London access and rents below what you'd pay in most comparable inner-London locations. The social-housing concentration is high, which shapes the feel of the area — it's more settled and less transient than many rental-heavy London postcodes. Crime is slightly below the national average, though the Ofsted picture for local schools is mixed.
- What is the rent in Haringey 013?
- A one-bedroom flat runs around £1,630 a month, a two-bedroom about £2,025, and a three-bedroom roughly £2,340. These are estimates scaled from borough-level data using local sale prices. Rents rose around 2.6% over the past year. Private rental availability is more limited than in some neighbouring areas, given the high share of social housing.
- Is Haringey 013 safe?
- The recorded crime rate is around 74 incidents per 1,000 residents a year, which sits slightly below the UK national average of roughly 80 per 1,000. That's a more positive picture than some inner-London areas at similar rent levels. Street-level crime is higher near transport routes, so checking the specific postcode on a crime map before committing is sensible.
- What's the commute from Haringey 013 to London centre?
- Around 14 minutes by public transport — one of the quicker links you'll find in the borough. The nearest mainline rail station is roughly 1.15 km away, and there's an underground station around 1.25 km away. About 36% of residents commute by public transport, and a further 31% work from home.
- Who lives in Haringey 013?
- A diverse mix — just under half of residents were born in the UK, and the ethnic diversity index is 66. The age spread leans younger, with nearly 28% aged 18 to 34, though a substantial long-term community exists thanks to the high social-housing share. Around 39% hold a degree. Single-person households make up 30% of homes.
- What schools are near Haringey 013?
- There are 172 schools within 2 km, so options are plentiful. However, only around 47% of those within typical catchment distance are rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is approximately 423 metres away, so quality provision does exist close by. Families should check individual school ratings carefully rather than relying on proximity alone.
- Is Haringey 013 good for renters?
- It can be, but the private rental market here is smaller than you might expect for inner London — social housing takes up 42.5% of all homes. That limits available stock. Rents are more accessible than much of Zone 2 London, and transport links are strong. The rent-to-take-home ratio sits at around 92%, though, which reflects just how stretched London incomes are against even these more moderate rents.
