For many years, estate agents in Islington shouted from the rooftops that the area was up and coming. They don't do that anymore as it is now most definitely an area that is highly popular with people looking for property to rent or buy, or to buy-to-let. Islington properties come in various styles including modern apartment houses, Victorian and Edwardian mansion blocks, Georgian and Victorian terraced townhouses, modern mews properties, and post war ex-local authority housing.
In the London Borough of Islington and covered by postcode N1, three-bedroom houses to rent in Islington, in a typical Victorian terrace, are in the region of £2,100 per month. Houses offering four bedrooms are from £2,400 per month. Flats to rent in Islington, offering one bedroom, are available for a monthly rental starting at £800, with two-bedroom flats from £950.
Amenities for properties in Islington
Stretching from Highbury & Islington in the north to Islington High Street in the south, Upper Street is Islington's spine. It has much to offer the discerning resident including high street chain stores in the N1 Shopping Centre and a host of individual shops, bars, clubs and restaurants. For other forms of shopping there is a daily fruit & veg market in Chapel Street and a Farmers' Market in Essex Road. Camden Passage Market is highly recommended for collectors of antiques and, occasionally, bargains. For culture and entertainment there is Sadler's Wells; the Almeida Theatre, the King's Head, and 'Screen on the Green' for discerning moviegoers looking for an alternative to mainstream Hollywood fare.
Islington offers a good choice of both primary and secondary schools including Thornhill Primary School, St Mary's Church of England Primary School, and Islington Green Secondary School off Essex Road.
