Home prices are a little bit different within the neighboring towns of the county. You find detached, terraced, semi-detached, maisonettes and flats on the real estate market. You can get a decent three or four bed detach from £250,000 to £550,000. Semis are available from £200,000 to £500,000. Terraces are available from £175,000.
Eating And Shopping
Welwyn Garden City and Watford are for serious shoppers. Major retail stores are located in these areas. St. Albans offers a wide variety of specialty shops, street markets and boutiques. You get a large number of restaurants and pubs throughout the area. The impressive literary roots of the area considered one of the biggest tourist attractions of Hertfordshire. In fact, George Orwell had based his book (The Animal Farm) on the village of Wallington, where he was living. Jane Austen’s famous novel Pride And Prejudice was also set in Hertfordshire. This is why literary lovers are flocking to the area each year.
