About EN5

EN5 is a residential pocket of Barnet that appeals primarily to families and those seeking a quieter, suburban feel without straying too far from London. The area has a solid liveability score of 66/100, reflecting its appeal as a stable, established neighbourhood with good schools and green spaces, though it's not the most vibrant part of the capital. It suits people who value community and space over nightlife and cutting-edge amenities, and who can tolerate a modest transport infrastructure in exchange for a more settled environment. The trade-off here is clear: you're gaining residential calm and school quality, but sacrificing the convenience and buzz of more central London locations.

Safety and education are genuine strengths in EN5, with a crime rate of 7.6 per 1,000 residents well below London's average and an exceptional schools score of 100/100, with every school rated Good or Outstanding. Transport is the weaker point, with a score of 57/100 and an average Public Transport Accessibility Level of just 2.4, meaning you'll likely need a car for many journeys. The median property price sits at £610,000, up 1.8% over the past year, making it moderately expensive but somewhat more affordable than many inner London postcodes. This district works best for car-owning families prioritising good schools and safety, and less well for those without a vehicle or those who depend on frequent public transport access.
