Harlow, a town in Essex, was one of the original "New Towns" developed after World War II to accommodate London's growing population. Known for its mix of urban planning, green spaces, and affordability, Harlow offers a unique living experience that appeals to families, professionals, and retirees alike.
Harlow provides a range of housing options, from post-war estates to modern developments. Compared to London and parts of Essex like Chelmsford or Epping, house prices and rental costs in Harlow are more affordable. Newer housing estates such as Newhall offer contemporary homes, while older areas like Old Harlow retain historic charm with period properties.
Harlow is well connected by road and rail, making it ideal for commuters. The M11 Junction 7 and 7A motorway provides quick access to London and Cambridge, while Harlow Town and Harlow Mill train stations offer direct services to London Liverpool Street in under 40 minutes. Additionally, Stansted Airport is just a 20-minute drive away, making international travel convenient.

Harlow has a variety of primary and secondary schools, with some rated "Good" or "Outstanding" by Ofsted. Notable institutions include Burnt Mill Academy and St Mark's West Essex Catholic School. The town is also home to Harlow College, which provides further education opportunities.
One of Harlow's standout features is its abundance of green spaces. Harlow Town Park, one of the largest urban parks in the UK, provides beautiful gardens, walking trails, and a petting zoo. The nearby River Stort offers scenic routes for cycling and walking. Harlow also has a strong artistic heritage, with numerous public sculptures, the Gibberd Garden, and the Harlow Playhouse hosting various performances.

The Harvey Centre and The Water Gardens serve as the town's main shopping hubs, featuring high-street brands, supermarkets, and restaurants. A growing number of independent businesses and eateries are emerging, adding to Harlow's appeal. For larger shopping trips, residents often travel to nearby towns like Bishop's Stortford or Epping.
