Excellent schools add to its appeal, alongside plenty of open green spaces and good value homes.

Areas to consider

The most desirable postcode is generally considered to be SM2, which includes the Belmont and South Sutton areas. SM1 includes the town centre, as well as pats of The Wrythe, Rosehill, Carshalton and Benhilton. To the west, SM3 includes Cheam and West Sutton.

Heath Drive is a particularly sought-after address in Sutton, offering large detached homes – many with swimming pools or tennis courts. The Landseer Conservation Area is another prime spot, with large and beautiful Edwardian properties on offer for around the £1 million mark.

The St Helier Estate offers more modest and affordable homes in Sutton. Attractive new homes developments are also available close to the station and at the Old Gas Works site.

Amenities and Green Spaces

Sutton’s town centre offers a decent selection of shops, cafes and restaurants that mean locals don’t need to travel further afield too often. Any serious retail therapy will require a trip into more central parts of the capital, but Sutton has a respectable high street. Two shopping centres – Times Square and the Saint Nicolas Centre – include favourites like Primark and New Look.

All the big supermarkets have a presence in Sutton, as well as local versions serving more peripheral areas. A monthly Famer’s Market and a good number of delicatessens offer a wider choice of finer foods and drinks.

Sutton is one of the greenest London boroughs, offering plenty of green spaces. The large Oak Park to the south includes a sport centre, café and even a golf course. In the north west of the Borough you’ll find Beddington Park – beautiful grounds and lake attached to a 16th century manor house.

Resident reviews

Before moving, we meticulously researched places where school offsted scores should be high and where crime rates should be low. Sutton came out from many resources.
Mehmet Ozaksu, Verified Resident – No. 16 Sutton Court, May 2020

The local transport links are perfect for our commutes into London and work. We are a couple of minutes walk away from the town centre which is ideal.
Daniel H, Verified Resident – No. 16 Sutton Court, Aug 2019

Good place, supermarket close to proximity, great shopping area and food places. Transport is nearby and so is the local gym.
Cozaciuc, Verified Resident – Old Gas Works SM1, Jul 2019

It is a green area, conveniently located, only takes 30 minutes to get to Victoria.
Liam, Verified Resident – Northumberland House SM2, Jul 2019

The area is great; two minutes’ walk to the High Street and everything you need very close by, with excellent transport links into town, a bus ride to the Northern line at Morden, always a way to get home. The only thing Sutton is missing is a theatre.

Great place to live

Sutton is a lovely place with great schools. Very convenient to London center by Train. Many choices of supermarkets for you to compare the price. The high street is so easy to access and you could almost find everything you need for daily life. Major banks are having branches here also.

Please review your development:

Modern design and comfortable environment. Facilities are well installed and great.
The Building and property Management team are also responsive. The lounge and rooftop garden are safe and good place for kids especially during the rainy dates. The gym is maintained well but should include more running machines. Management teams are friendly and helpful.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The exact contact points for all the utility bills and the clear pictures of the meter readings.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

I reported a case to replace the battery of fire alarm on Sunday, and the team, Stuart, came and replace it right on Monday morning. Impressive and exceptional service.

There is a wide range of restaurants and cuisines available in the area that definitely satisfy everyone. The high street is also very convenient with many different shops and bars.

Please review your development:

The design of the development is modern and attractive. Spacious property with adequate interior design that easy to fit your own furnitures. The furnitures that are already included with the property are also great fit the property design and provide good looking as well as living.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

It can be reasonably noisy at night time especially the property is facing the police station because of the in and out police cars. The noises will be quite down after midnight and closing windows completely would help with the noise issues.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The building management always gave swift and effective responses to every maintenance and repair requests I made.
