Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Prices: Many flats and houses are priced in the pounds 70-pounds 80,000 range, usually for two or three bedrooms. Some flats are more expensive than houses with the same number of rooms. Second-hand flats in recently built houses are occasionally available, as are three-storey three-bedroom period houses, which cost pounds 125-pounds 150,000.
Cheap and cheerful: Ex-council flats are often available for pounds 40,000 and less.
Transport: Solidly Zone 3, N15 has two Underground stations - Seven Sisters (Victoria Line) and Turnpike Lane (Piccadilly Line) - both lines converge at Finsbury Park, which connects with a rail line to King's Cross and another to Old Street and Moorgate. The Gospel Oak-Barking line (Silverlink North London) has stops at Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters. The latter also serves a line into Liverpool Street.
Position, position, position: Some properties are very close to stations. A two-bedroom end-of-terrace house on Birstall Road is a skip to Seven Sisters station and is selling for less than pounds 80,000.
Shopping and dining: Superstores inhabit the former Haringey Stadium, and the Wood Green Shopping Centre is nearby. There's a good range of Caribbean, Turkish, Italian and Greek restaurants, and good pubs.
Council tax: In Haringey, Band A is pounds 570 and Band H is pounds 1,712.
Something for everyone: To the west, Alexandra Palace Park has a lake, a pub, and an outstanding panoramic view. To the east, a river, sporting grounds, a nature reserve and marshland.
