If you buy property for sale in Welwyn Garden City you will in fact be living in a town. It is however a ‘garden city’ founded by Sir Ebenezer Howard in the 1920s. A prominent urban planner he thought deeply about social issues and Welwyn Garden City is designed using his principles. You will enjoy some of the benefits of ‘new town’ planning if you choose to set up home in Welwyn Garden City but you will also enjoy the comprehensive modern shopping facilities including the Howard indoor Shopping centre and the large John Lewis department store. For older house sales look for propery on the ‘West Side’ of the town but for more modern residential areas try the east where you’ll find studio apartments in purpose built blocks. In November 2006, after touring the town a Japanese building company was so impressed that they decided to name a new 144-house development near Tokyo ‘Welwyn Garden Village’
The Welwyn Garden City office is located in the centre of town and within a few minutes walk to the station and shopping centre. There are plently of car parks available including the Howard centre car park.
