The town provides a mix of housing options, from period properties and Victorian terraces to modern developments, which cater to a wide range of lifestyles and budgets.
One of the standout features of Barnet is its abundance of parks and outdoor spaces, including the large and scenic Trent Park, which offers residents plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying nature.
