More About Harlow

How much do you know about Harlow? Find out the essential details below, from its property and transport links to its places of interest.

What’s Harlow Like?

Harlow first emerged as a settlement in Norman times, eventually coalescing as a modest rural community –  The Grade II listed St. Mary’s Church and a smattering of old buildings still tip the hat to this legacy, constituting what is know as ‘Old Harlow’. Around this collocation of buildings erupted the ‘new town’, devised in the 1950s, and growing ever since into the substantial commuter town it is today.

It’s a place of many firsts – it’s home to the first ever pedestrianised town centre, the first residential tower block, and the first town with deliberately commissioned sculptures and artworks built into its streets. Sir Frederick Gibberd was the mastermind behind Harlow’s town structure, and one of his great priorities was ‘green space’; the town is divided into segments with large stretches of parkland in between each part, ensuring residents didn’t feel like they were in urban London.

Harlow is ever evolving, and has plenty of amenities to complement its green spaces, not to mention its 30 minute distance from central London. If you’re looking for somewhere greener to settle within range of the city, then Harlow is an excellent choice.

Property In Harlow

Architecture: Harlow embodies a mix of post-war architectural properties, primarily characterised by its modernist housing and New Town planning principles. Established in the late 1940s as one of the first post-war New Towns, Harlow features several residential areas with terraced houses, bungalows, and semi-detached homes that reflect the trends of the mid-20th century. The town is also home to some distinctive properties, such as the Grade II listed Water Gardens, designed by renowned landscape architect Sir Frederick Gibberd.

Developments: In recent years, significant redevelopment projects have been underway, including the Harlow & Gilston Garden Town initiative, which aims to build new homes, improve infrastructure, and enhance community facilities.

Rental market: The rental market in Harlow is robust, with demand for rental properties remaining high. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is around £900 per month, while two-bedroom apartments typically rent for approximately £1,200 per month.
