St Albans Area Guide

Your guide to St Albans’ local areas

The Louise Saunders team lives and breathes St Albans and we love to share our local knowledge. Our insider’s guide to St Albans’ local neighbourhoods can help you focus your property search on the areas of the city that best suit your lifestyle, whether you’re in search of excellent schools, café culture or being a stone’s throw from the station.

Each local area features wonderful period homes, good schools and local gems no more than a short stroll or drive to St Albans City station and the town centre. There are many other areas of St Albans to live, outside of the town centre. Do get in touch with the team if you’d like more advice about any of these areas.
