A modern, cosmopolitan town, Luton benefits from a rare blend of great location, a thriving centre, good transport links, a buoyant local economy and a highly progressive university. What's more, all of this comes within the context of one of the most vibrant multicultural communities in the country. The town is a popular location for first time buyers, and people purchasing property for investment purposes, as there is a good selection of property for sale in Luton under the stamp duty threshold of £125k. Families who are searching for good sized houses for sale in Luton will also be pleasantly surprised to discover there are modern three bedroom houses being offered by Luton estate agents for £149k+. Luton is home to Bedford University, which offers good buy to let opportunities in an area described by local residents as "The Student Village" area of Luton - the inner town centre close to and around Cardigan Street.
Amenities for properties in Luton
One of the bonuses of living in Luton is how near it is to the countryside; nestled in the Chilterns, Luton is surrounded by hills and natural settings. As well as the local countryside there are two main parkland areas: Wardown Park, which is Victorian and quaint, and Stockwood Park, a vast open area offering a range of sporting opportunities from rugby to horse riding. There are plenty of shops in Luton; "The Mall Arndale" (formerly the Arndale Shopping Centre) is home to over 120 shops, including Marks & Spencer and Debenhams. For nightlife and entertainment, there are a good selection of bars, cafés and restaurants, sports centres, swimming pools and golf courses, as well as the Galaxy Centre, which has an 11 screen cinema and bowling lane. The Hat Factory is a showcase for the arts in Luton, hosting musicals, art and theatre. And, as would be expected for a town of its size, there are a good number of schools for children of all ages, as well as no less than eight libraries!
Transport for Luton
Luton residents benefit from good rail connections from three stations. Regular Thameslink services operate into London St Pancras (26 minutes), Farringdon (37 minutes) and Gatwick Airport (79 minutes), as well as services to the Midlands and the North. London Luton Airport is just four miles from the town centre, and by road, Luton is well placed for access to central London, the South East, Midlands and north of England via the M1 motorway, A1(M) Motorway and M25.
