New homes brought to E17 in London
Walthamstow is the most popular neighbourhood for home buyers in London, according to current research measuring the earliest indicator of demand in an area.
The north-east London area has the most prospective home buyers signed up to receive instant property alerts from Rightmove in the capital. Walthamstow has become increasingly popular with buyers willing to move further out from the centre of London in search of houses and outside space, often heading north from more expensive areas such as Hackney and Islington.
Asking prices in the area have increased by 116 per cent in the past decade and popularity has grown even more as lockdown-weary Londoners prioritise space over centrality.
Conveniently located only a three-minute walk from Walthamstow Central, residents at The Quant are superbly connected with London underground, national rail and bus services on the doorstep.
Due south are the hipster areas of Hackney, Spitalfields and Whitechapel. Directly west, the best of north London – two Premier League football clubs and the popular residential areas of Crouch End and Islington.
The borough of Walthamstow itself is surrounded by parkland. The picturesque waterways and reservoirs of the River Lea valley, labelled as Sites of Special Scientific Interest, are due to the habitat they provide to an incredible array of birdlife and fauna. Hence the reason why you’re likely to see herons in flight over the town centre – something pretty unique to the Stow!
