Back in the 1980s, Brixton was talked-about more for its high crime rates than anything else. But heavy investment and a host of new business have transformed this rainbow-coloured neighbourhood for the better. Brixton’s a creative hub packed with street art, independent shops and eateries. It has a sense of identity that any other London district would struggle to match. Read on to discover the developments that are rated as the best places to live in Brixton.

Perfect Development for any young Londoner
Perfect location for any young Londoner. Amazing proximity to tube access, nightlife, bars & restaurants, gyms, unique markets, craft beer breweries, a lido, park and many more. Brixton has everything and the development is close enough to the energy of the area but tucked away on a smaller, more peaceful road. There is a great culture and energy and I see more and more housing being established.
Please review your development:
The developments best feature is by far the light and windows! Huge big windows and double balcony doors make the building so airy and light which is really rare in 1-2 bed flats in London. Being only 7 floors, it really retains a residential and non-corporate feel and there is a really tight community feel here. The building facilities are basic but functional and the garden has been designed with this in mind and offers a great communal space. The overall finish of the flat including doors, windows, flooring etc is really high quality and was something we noticed instantly when viewing.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Whilst we knew we were buying near a busy road, there is a fair amount of activity on this road. This ranges from a lot of night life and party people to siren cars etc (living near a police depo/hospital) so this is frequent.
What is the best feature of your home:
The floor length windows which bring so much light in including the double doors on the balcony.
