Templefields
Templefields sits within Harlow and benefits from the strong transport links that define this part of Essex and Hertfordshire. Netteswell and Mark Hall both offer direct rail connections to London Liverpool Street, while the M11 runs close by throughout the area, giving quick access to London, Cambridge and Stansted. This makes the wider area a genuine option for commuters, whether they prefer train or car, and with over 28% of residents in some neighbourhoods working from home, it clearly suits hybrid working too.
Families are well catered for across the board. Good-rated primary and secondary schools crop up consistently, from Purford Green and William Martin in Bush Fair to the Outstanding Fawbert and Barnard Infants' School in Sawbridgeworth. GP surgeries, dentists and hospitals are all within easy reach, and green space is abundant, with Netteswell alone counting 7 local parks and 21 more nearby, plus Old Harlow and Sawbridgeworth each offering around 9 to 10 of their own. Crime has fallen consistently across these neighbourhoods in recent years and now sits comfortably below the national average, adding to the area's appeal for anyone prioritising safety.
Housing varies depending on which part you look at. Mark Hall offers some of the more affordable options, with terraced houses around £338,000 and flats at £181,000, while Church Langley North & Newhall sees detached and semi-detached homes holding their value particularly well. Old Harlow and Sawbridgeworth undercut their immediate neighbours on price while still offering strong schools and amenities, and Hunsdon stands out as a quieter, village-like option with limited local amenities but solid flat performance and good road links via the A10. Whether you want a commuter town, a village feel, or a well-connected town centre with shops and restaurants close by, this cluster of neighbourhoods around Templefields gives you plenty of choice without straying far from good transport and strong schools.
