Hemel Hempstead is one of Hertfordshire's "new towns", situated a few miles north west of where the M25 and M1 motorways cross. The new town is well known for its "Magic Roundabout", which allows traffic to go around the roundabout in both directions. Like Stevenage, the town was developed around a charming old town that still exists today, and where there are a number of Tudor and Georgian cottages. If you work in London but would like to live in a family friendly place, you should consider Hemel Hempstead property. The canals and parks lend a country-living feel, even though Hemel Hempstead has one of Hertfordshire's largest industrial and business areas: Kodak have their European headquarters in the town centre. Whether you are searching for flats for sale in Hemel Hempstead or a detached family house, you will be able to locate a suitable property advertised by the Hemel Hempstead estate agents.
