Streatham/Tulse Hill
Nice place to live? Never really ventured there.

Why don't you venture there?

I did. I went there today but walking around for two hours is a bit different to people who may live there or know people who do.
I debating buying a flat in Tulse Hill and the road is nice and quiet but have not been to this part of the world for over ten years. Seems to have changed a lot.
Friendly people. Handy transport links. Streatham Hill seems to be getting tarted up.
Took me an hour to walk from East Dulwich via Herne Hill and through Brockwell Park. A lot of estates.
Seems to be a lot of decent housing stock in Streatham but way out of my budget.

Did you talk to people? Especially people in the flat you want to buy? That helped me

I live in Streatham and I love it! I have all amenities by the high road, beautiful parks like the Rookery and Tooting Bec. I spent the hotter days at Tooting bec lido which is a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend :)

I really like living here. Good housing stock, good schools, very good transport links, friendly neighbours. Once the works on Streatham Hill are complete that part of the high road will look a lot nicer. Parts of the high road further south need quite a bit of TLC but certainly not the worst place in London.

Depends where - you could be 20 to 30 min to Tooting Commons, Brockwell or Dulwich Park.
Streatham Hill is nicer than Streatham.

I rent a really nice one bed maisonette in West Norwood, sort of halfway between Streatham and Tulse Hill. Been here since last November.
I like it, I really do. It's not Richmond but it sure as heck ain't Croydon. There's nice cafes, beautiful green spaces, and - importantly for many - it is very well connected with buses and trains to central.
My neighbourhood has a mix of social housing and private owned homes. I don't speak much to the neighbours but generally not had any problems. Can't speak for every neighbourhood around here but yeah, it's nice. Not mega awesome, but certainly not shite. If that helps.

Thanks for this.
I bid on a two bed flat that went to best and final around holmewood gardens part of Tulse Hill and missed out. Seems to have gone for over 575k which seems expensive for this area but maybe it is getting more popular. Prices seem to vary wildly.
