About Highfield
Highfield is a quiet neighbourhood in Kent where crime stays well below the UK average — and it's been that way consistently for the last three years. If you're thinking about schools, there are two Good-rated primary schools nearby, which works well for families. You'll need to look further afield for secondary education though.
Day-to-day amenities are fairly basic — you'll find cafés, a pharmacy and a pub locally. Supermarkets and GP services are just outside the neighbourhood boundary. Getting around works best if you drive, as public transport options within Highfield itself are limited.
House prices vary depending on what you're after. Detached homes are cheaper here than in neighbouring areas, while flats tend to command a premium. Overall, living costs sit below the national average, largely because transport spending is notably low.
The weather's mild and dry, and air quality is excellent — so if you like spending time outdoors, you'll find plenty to like here.
