Schools are a clear strength throughout the area, from Outstanding-rated options in Chorleywood North & Sarratt and Dickinsons to Merchant Taylors' School in Moor Park & Eastbury and five Good-rated schools in Penn & Mill End. Crime runs below the national average across the board and continues to fall year on year, while air quality consistently rates well, supporting the area's semi-rural, settled feel. Housing costs vary significantly depending on which part of Batchworth you're looking at. Moor Park & Eastbury commands the highest prices, with detached homes averaging £1.79 million, closely followed by Chorleywood North & Sarratt at £1.23 million.
