Cannot afford to buy in Highgate. Am now looking at Seven Sisters but do not know the area well as I am renting in Highgate. Anybody knows whether Seven Sisters is an ok location. The flat I saw is very nice and competitively priced. Thanks

    Do you mean close to Seven Sisters tube? Or just somewhere along Seven Sisters Road?
    Some very different areas along that road.

    You would be better off looking at Highcliffe/ Islington borders Archway. Crouch End Hornsey, Holloway. Seven Sisters is Tottenham so I would suggest going further out to Walthamstow

    Given one person's "vibrant" is someone else's "noisy", what's stopping you getting on the tube and going to check the area out for yourself?
