Lower Bois sits in classic Chilterns commuter territory, surrounded by neighbourhoods that share a strong family appeal: good schools, low crime and clean air. The Metropolitan line is a real draw across the area, with direct trains into central London from Chesham and Little Chalfont stations, making it a practical base if you need city access without giving up on countryside and green space. Schools are a particular strength, with outstanding options including Dr Challoner's High School, Brushwood Junior and Chalfont St Giles Junior School, alongside grammar provision in Amersham and Chesham, which explains why so many families settle here. Crime runs well below the national average throughout the area and continues to fall, adding to the settled, safe feel that comes up again and again in the surrounding neighbourhoods. Day-to-day life is well supported too, with decent GP, dentist and optician coverage, plus a reasonable spread of shops, pubs and restaurants, especially around Chesham South where you'll find 13 restaurants and 8 pubs and bars within easy reach. Housing costs vary a fair amount depending on which direction you look. Chesham South offers the most affordable entry point, with flats averaging £235,000, while Amersham & Chesham Bois and Bovingdon, Flaunden and Chipperfield sit at the top end, with detached homes averaging over £1.1 million. Chalfont St Giles and Little Chalfont also command a premium, reflecting steady demand from families drawn to the schools and the setting. Whatever your budget, you'll find the same underlying appeal across the area: village character, strong transport links and a quieter pace of life within reach of London.
