#commuter-towns

In the posh Essex town of Shenfield, you're looking at around £427,000 for an average three-bed home and £4,008 for a year-round season ticket. That would save around 45 percent compared to what you might spend in Zone 2. It's a 51-minute journey on the Lizzie line to Bond street or a 23-minute journey to Liverpool Street on mainline services.

Bedroom communities refer to residential areas with larger cities nearby to which most residents commute for work. These communities, sometimes also called commuter towns, can be an appealing option for buyers with specific needs.
