Housing old and new: great value, high quality

There are huge numbers of new apartments under construction in Stratford, but it’s also a land of opportunity for property hunters.  The tight-knit streets around the town centre feature a fine selection of classic Victorian terraced houses in quiet pedestrian-safe tree-lined side roads.  Many cluster around West Ham Park, a hidden gem in the heart of Stratford, with its wide open spaces and elegant formal gardens.  This area, known as ‘Stratford Village’ stretches towards the historic Broadway with it’s shops and amenities.

You can find flats from as little as £100,000, and even two bedroom houses with gardens from around £220,000, providing excellent opportunities for first time buyers.  Modern apartments come in at starting prices of around £200,000.  Stratford, being as it is so exceptionally well connected and with such an exciting future, is a community which many people are now gravitating towards.

If you’re renting, look carefully and you can find yourself a budget two bedroom flat for around £850pm, or a two or three bedroom house from £1,100pm.  There are plenty of chic new apartments now coming onto the rental market as well.  Meaning that Stratford can accommodate people with any kind of budget, in every kind of property. 

Many thousands of homes are being built across Stratford as the area experiences a boom in development and regeneration. Within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is the East Village - an exciting new neighbourhood featuring the best of London, all in one place.
