Living in Harlow: A Family-Friendly Town with Modern Amenities
Nestled in the west of Essex, Harlow is a vibrant town that offers a balanced mix of urban convenience and natural beauty. Known for its post-war development and pioneering spirit as one of the UK's original "New Towns", Harlow continues to evolve as a family-friendly destination with excellent transport links, green spaces, and a growing sense of community.
A Town Designed for Families
From its inception, Harlow was planned with families in mind. The town boasts wide streets, plentiful parks, and distinct neighbourhoods, each with its own character. Many residential areas are close to schools, shops, and healthcare facilities, making daily life simpler and less rushed.
Housing in Harlow is varied, with a mix of post-war family homes, modern developments, and affordable housing schemes. Whether you're a first-time buyer or seeking a spacious property for a growing family, there are options to suit most budgets.
Education and Schools
Harlow offers a solid selection of educational institutions. For younger children, there are numerous nurseries and primary schools, many of which are rated 'Good' or above by Ofsted. Secondary education is also well-served, with academies and comprehensive schools across the town.
For older students, Harlow College is a leading further education institution with strong vocational and academic programmes. The town is also home to the UK's only Public Health England science campus, which helps foster a forward-looking educational and professional atmosphere.
Parks and Green Spaces
Families in Harlow benefit from a generous provision of parks and nature reserves. The award-winning Harlow Town Park is one of the largest urban parks in the country and offers a wealth of attractions including a petting zoo, adventure playgrounds, a skate park, and seasonal events.
Elsewhere, Parndon Wood Nature Reserve and the River Stort offer peaceful walks, picnic spots, and opportunities for cycling or birdwatching. These natural havens make it easy for children to stay active and for families to enjoy quality time outdoors.
Leisure and Community
For leisure, Harlow is well-equipped with sports facilities, including the Harlow Leisurezone, which features a swimming pool, gym, climbing wall, and courts for various indoor sports. The town also has a number of football clubs, martial arts schools, and dance studios suitable for children and adults alike.
The Playhouse Theatre provides a varied calendar of performances, from children's shows and pantomimes to live music and drama, while the Gibberd Gallery, located in the Civic Centre, showcases local and national art.

Weekly markets, held in the town centre and neighbourhood precincts, provide fresh produce and local goods. Several retail parks are just a short drive away for larger purchases and household needs.
Healthcare and Transport
Families are well-supported by local GP surgeries, dental practices, and the Princess Alexandra Hospital, which offers emergency and maternity services. Pharmacies are widely available across all parts of the town.
