West Common is one of the most sought after areas of Harpenden. Its proximity to open countryside, Harpenden Common, Rothamsted Park and the high street all add to its popularity. With its quiet, leafy residential streets and large detached houses on substantial plots, it’s easy to understand why families choose to settle here.
Just over a mile and a half from the bustling tree-lined high street, with its comprehensive range of shopping facilities and restaurants, including 3 supermarkets and a Marks and Spencer food store, Oakfield Road is a convenient and charming place to live.
The area is well known for its excellent private and state schools, with buses for both St Albans and Berkhamsted schools picking up at Hatching Green, on the high street and at Southdown.
There are good sporting and leisure facilities, including an indoor swimming pool, sports centre and 4 renowned golf clubs all within a 10 minute drive.
A notable feature of Harpenden is its abundant parks and commons. The central area of Harpenden, known locally as "the village" is characterised by Church Green, Leyton Green and the High Street Greens, which give the town its pleasingly provincial feel.
Just to the south of the town centre is Harpenden Common, stretching from the shops in the town centre for more than a mile to the south, encompassing a total of 238 acres. Today the Common is home to two cricket clubs, a football club, bridleways for horse riding, ramblers' paths and Harpenden Common Golf Club, all within an area of outstanding natural beauty
In addition the town has large green public spaces at Rothamsted Park, Kinsbourne Green Common and Lydekker Park. The old railway which used to link Harpenden, Redbourn and Hemel Hempstead now fondly known as the Nickey Line, extends approximately 7 miles and is perfect for cyclists and joggers alike.
