Ridgeway, Enfield: Living Costs
Cost of Living
Living costs in Ridgeway are roughly in line with the UK average, so it's a solid option if you're watching your budget. You'll spend a bit more on council tax, but you'll save on transport — and that balances out nicely.
Your monthly outgoings here come to around £650, compared to the UK average of £640. Transport is the real win at £90 a month versus £103 nationally, thanks to the neighbourhood's location away from central London. Groceries are slightly cheaper too, at £220.
Council tax is where costs climb — you'll pay £170 a month, which is £23 above the national average. For landlords, those lower transport costs are a draw. Tenants get the appeal of quieter surroundings without the commuting expense you'd face in nearby neighbourhoods like Cockfosters or Whitewebbs.
