Stanmore in Middlesex is growing in popularity by the month, despite the downturn in the current economic situation. Stanmore property prices have dropped very little, and there is clearly a greater demand than there is supply. What are the attractions of this suburb on the outskirts of London?

Firstly the area is ideal for bringing up a family, with quiet streets and great access to some of the best schools in the borough of Harrow. The transport links are excellent, and you can be in the city within 45mins, using either of the two Jubilee line stations at Canons Park or Stanmore. Bus links, service all the surrounding areas, and frequency and range of options are huge.

If you like to shop, you can access the huge nearby shopping complexes of Watford, Harrow or Brent Cross. All are within 40 minutes by public transport or within 20 minutes on the outside by private car or taxi. All of these shopping complexes offer a range of modern outlets combined with access to diverse cuisine to accommodate every palate.

If you’ve got primary school aged children, you won’t find better schools than Stanburn and Whitchurch first and middle. Both are high performing schools with a great community spirit. Parental involvement and support is strong and both schools organise a range of events for the local community. The results and Ofsted inspections speak volumes about the ethos of both schools, and generally explain why you’re likely to pay a premium on your Stanmore house purchase (or rent) if you’re in the catchment area for either school.

If your children are older and senior schools are of more interest, than take a look at Park High. With a new head-teacher at the helm, of an already high-performing school, the prospects for Park High look very promising. If access to private schools is part of your requirement, you’ll find North London Collegiate (girls schools), which has a national reputation, literally on your doorstep. Access to a heap of other private and Grammar schools is achieved by a series of school provided private transportation companies that have a number of pick-ups in the area.

Whether you’re looking to buy or rent in Stanmore, you’re unlikely to be disappointed with the area, amenities or access to the city and beyond. With a range of modern new-build housing, and old-style 1930s Laing homes, with price ranges that start at £150,000 and go upwards of £1.5million, every taste is accommodated. Houses or flats in Stanmore are both a great in terms of location but also in terms of future investment. Find out more at www.stanmoreproperty.com.
