Lively, multi-cultural area with excellent transport links
Edgware is well-connected with Northern line and Jubilee lines, as well as buses. The High Street has been active since stores shut down in COVID – more stores are open now and there’s a wide range of variety: big supermarkets, organic markets, restaurants with different cuisines, charity shops, bubble tea, gym, etc. The Boardwalk mall next to Edgware station also houses shops. The area is a multi-cultural community but still remains safe and residential (outside of the High Street).
Please review your development:
I’ve been in the flat in Middlesex House since 2020 and it at that point it had just been built. It has largely kept its modern design. It has gated private parking at the back (monthly fee). Building & Property management has improved in terms of response to repairs, e.g. lift out-of-service, cleanliness of hallways and stairs). I wished though that there was a concierge.
Because the development is in a cul-de-sac, property management needs to invest in street lighting. Often in the night, it can get quite dark in that street.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Harrow is an expensive council – something to keep in mind when moving here because the yearly council tax can get very high.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have responded to a few issues I have raised. There is still one outstanding issue they haven’t gotten back yet.
