At Robsons, choosing the right place to live is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Northwood, nestled in the London Borough of Hillingdon, is a truly exceptional area for families. Combining suburban charm with excellent amenities, it offers outstanding schools, green spaces, reliable transport links, and a strong community spirit. Let us take you on a tour of why Northwood stands out as a family-friendly destination.
Education at Its Best
One of Northwood’s greatest strengths is the exceptional quality of its schools. Families here are spoilt for choice, with a mix of outstanding state-funded schools and prestigious independent institutions. Northwood College for Girls and St Helen’s School offer a nurturing environment with an excellent academic reputation. Secondary schools, such as Haydon and Northwood Schools, are also highly sought after for their comprehensive approach to education, balancing academic excellence with extracurricular opportunities. Northwood provides access to specialist schools and support services for children with additional needs, ensuring an inclusive and supportive learning environment for every child.
Beautiful Green Spaces
Families in Northwood are never far from nature. The area boasts many parks and outdoor spaces, making enjoying a healthy, active lifestyle easy. Ruislip Woods National Nature Reserve offers tranquil woodland walks and the chance to spot wildlife. At the same time, nearby Ruislip Lido combines a scenic reservoir with a sandy beach and a miniature railway that children adore. Local parks and playgrounds are dotted throughout the neighbourhood, providing safe and enjoyable spaces for children to play and families to spend quality time together.
Convenient Transport Links
When it comes to connectivity, Northwood excels. The Metropolitan Line runs through the area, providing quick and direct access to central London. This is a huge advantage for professionals commuting to the city or families looking to explore the capital. Reliable bus services connect Northwood to surrounding towns. At the same time, proximity to major roads such as the M25 and A40 makes travel by car equally convenient. Living in Northwood means being well-connected without compromising on peace.
First-Class Healthcare
Healthcare is a top priority for families, and Northwood does not disappoint. The area is well-served by general practitioners, dental clinics, and specialist medical services. Families can also access excellent pediatric care locally, ensuring children’s health needs are met with the highest standards. Larger hospitals are just a short distance away for more complex medical requirements, providing additional peace of mind.
A Safe and Welcoming Community
Safety and community are at the heart of family life in Northwood. The area enjoys a low crime rate, a key consideration for many parents. Beyond that, the neighbourhood’s active community groups and events create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Whether it’s a local charity fundraiser, a school fair, or simply chatting with neighbours, Northwood is where connections are easily formed, and families feel genuinely at home.
Homes for Every Family
Northwood’s property market is as diverse as the families who call it home. The area offers a fantastic range of homes, from spacious detached and semi-detached houses with generous gardens to modern apartments ideal for smaller families or those just starting out. For those not looking to buy, the rental market is equally vibrant. Whatever your needs, Northwood has something to offer, all within a community tailored for family living.
Shopping and Everyday Convenience
The excellent range of shops and amenities makes life easy in Northwood. Grocery shopping is a breeze, with Waitrose and other local supermarkets offering everything you need daily. The area also boasts a variety of independent shops and boutiques, as well as larger shopping centres just a short drive away. For families who value fresh, locally sourced produce, farmers’ markets in the area are a popular choice.
