The London Borough of Barnet is one of the capital’s most popular residential areas, offering a balanced mix of suburban charm, green space, excellent schools, and strong transport links into Central London. Whether you're searching for a family home, rental property, or long-term investment opportunity, Barnet homes provide a diverse range of options—from Victorian terraces and post-war houses to modern apartments and new-build developments.
This article explores the appeal of Barnet’s property market, top neighbourhoods to consider, current housing trends, and how Fraser Bond can help clients rent, buy, or invest in homes across this thriving North London borough.
Barnet is renowned for its top-rated state and independent schools, making it one of the most sought-after London boroughs for families. Areas like Finchley, Hendon, and Mill Hill are especially popular for their proximity to outstanding primary and secondary schools.
Known as London’s greenest borough, Barnet offers access to over 200 parks and open spaces, including Hampstead Heath Extension, Dollis Valley Greenwalk, and Totteridge Fields. This makes it ideal for families, retirees, and anyone seeking a peaceful environment without leaving Greater London.
Barnet is well-served by both the Northern Line (via High Barnet, Finchley Central, and Hendon) and Thameslink rail services, providing direct routes into Central London and beyond. The M1, A1, and North Circular also offer convenient road links for commuters.
