Homes in Edmonton
Edmonton is a densely built area of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, interwar streets and large post-war council estates, including tower blocks around Edmonton Green. Many of the period houses are modest two-storey terraces, some divided into flats.
The eastern side is close to the Lea Valley reservoirs and industrial land, and Pymmes Brook and Salmons Brook have historically flooded nearby streets. Regeneration at Meridian Water is bringing new homes on former industrial land. Prices are among the most affordable in north London, attracting first-time buyers and investors. Many terraced houses have been converted into flats or let as shared homes, so buyers should check approvals and fire safety measures carefully.
Areas we cover include Edmonton Green, Upper Edmonton, Lower Edmonton, Bush Hill.
