Hertford- Where to live

[Croutons]

Appreciate this is a fairly quiet folder but nothing beats local knowledge!

I’ll be working in, I suppose south- central Hertford from May, close to the Simon Balle school, and if all goes well the family will follow.

initially that means an Airbnb, scout schools, and work out where we’d live.

For such a small place, traffic seems horrendous, but I don’t object to a 20-30 min drive twice a day, so if this was you with two young kids to school and entertain, where would you live?

If buying, 8-950 possible, less is better. 4 beds, 5 or annex better. Probably dreaming even at top budget- suppose it depends on where you say is good!

Very happy to walk to work, but is Hertford centre much cop?

Town/ country largely dictated by school catchment it seems, and finding stuff for the kids close by. We’re city dwellers by trade, the kids are used to lots of choice on the doorstep. But they know changes mean just that, so if a house had to provide entertainment and trips out we’re in the car having made decisions first,well tough!

Thanks all, I've got some mapping and school tedium to do, appreciate the steers, which seem to be largely West and a bit of South, or the A10!

Our if interest, Welwyn Garden City < St Alban's? Obvs it's closer to Hertford.
