North Town
North Town is a well-rounded, affordable corner of the Aldershot area, with day-to-day life covered by supermarkets, pharmacies, dentists and a solid run of good schools, including Alderwood Junior School locally and an Outstanding-rated primary in nearby Manor Park. House prices are a real draw throughout the area, with terraces among the cheapest around and rents consistently undercutting nearby Guildford. Families are especially well catered for, with several Good and Outstanding-rated schools dotted across the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Getting about does mean relying on a car in North Town itself, as there's no station or cycle routes within the neighbourhood boundary, though the A325 and nearby A31 and A3 keep road journeys straightforward and transport costs sit below the national average. Rail travellers aren't far from options, though, with Aldershot and Ash Vale stations both just outside the boundary offering direct links to London Waterloo and Guildford. Ash Vale and Ash Wharf, to the west, add further choice for commuters thanks to quick access to the M3 and M4 via the A331.
Crime trends are a genuine positive across the wider area, with burglary and vehicle crime falling steadily and several neighbourhoods now sitting well below the national average, pointing to a settled, improving community. Air quality is consistently good throughout, and the mix of affordable housing, reliable amenities and strong schools makes this a sensible choice for families and professionals after solid value without sacrificing everyday convenience.
