About Braintree West
Braintree West is a quiet residential neighbourhood that feels genuinely peaceful. You've got two local parks, crime rates that keep dropping, and clean air — the drier Essex location helps with that last bit.
House prices here are lower than in many nearby areas. Detached homes average £474,000 and flats start from £191,000, which makes this a real alternative if you've been priced out of Rayne or Great Notley.
St Michael's Church of England Primary is rated Outstanding and sits right in the neighbourhood. The A120 is close by, and you can reach London Liverpool Street by rail from Braintree without too much hassle.
One thing to know: shops, healthcare, and train stations are just outside the neighbourhood boundary rather than within it. You'll need to head out slightly for those essentials.
