We purchased here as we couldn't afford elsewhere and I do love the flat
We purchased here as we couldn't afford elsewhere and I do love the flat. The size is so much more for our money than Chiswick or even Brentford. I do worry there are so many tower blocks going up in west london at the moment and while they look fine to start they soon begin to look like the slums of London. Like the old Acton towers by morrisons must have been nice in their hay day but who wants to live there now?! Zero curb appeal...its low cost, cant afford what we really want, housing. The new ones in Acton look like a student village and they all have super small appliances to make them seem bigger its ridiculous. And the walls are so thin. The best thing about our flat is how sturdy it is, built in 1935 and built to last. There are new flats being built by us that are 95% timber! Id say the area is good for pets and kids if you're not near Argyle road
Transport
There are a few buses that head toward ealing broadway from my area which is good as there are options. One is a night bus which is good. Argyle Road at night, particularly down toward West Ealing Broadway, isn't the place for a gal to be walking late at night. I had one car turn back to talk to me then pull up and 2 guys get out because they "wanted to talk". I wouldn't walk it alone again. We bought in the area for the crossrail as that would be great for my housemate to get to work but it just keeps getting delayed! It would also be better if the piccadilly line serviced ealing broadway.

Parking is really easy for what Ive seen in London. We have a first come first serve area but theres always street parking if needed. Bin collections are fine. As a large block we have joint bins, I like that set up. As already mentioned, Argyle road isnt the nicest after dark. I wouldnt say I feel safe in the area at night myself. I used to rent in Chiswick...w13 is no w4. I think its mostly couples in our flats. There are some older residents who have lived here for eons. I also think several are rented out but im not certain

There's not much in the way of amenities in the midway from the broadway to hanger lane. A local shop like a tesco express would be great as I dont drive and its a 15 minute walk to a shop which isnt nice in the rain when you just need milk for a cuppa. The pubs nearby are super - thinking drayton and duke of kent, really lovely beer gardens. There's loads of green to look out at. I love the view across cleveland and pitshanger parks and drayton green has been fab during lockdown. Seems a good amount of buses though traffic on the approach to ealing broadway in the morning is usually so bad you're better off walking the last few stops.
There is definitely upcoming and rent prices unfortunately seem to be following as it is an expensive place
There is definitely upcoming and rent prices unfortunately seem to be following as it is an expensive place to live but you definitely get value for your money as the area is so nice to live and it’s so close to so many nice parks and good transport links
Transport
I am a commuter by car and commute to a group surrounding areas in Greater London I think that the transport links are great and the traffic in the morning is never too bad compare to what I’ve had in previous areas
Community
Never had a problem with any antisocial behaviour or anything that’s made me feel unsafe in the area is a great community feel and everyone seems to be looking out for each other

The most popular parts of Ealing or Ealing Broadway West Ealing especially Northfield Avenue these are the hotspots for shops bars and restaurants
I would rather live anywhere than acton
I would rather live anywhere than acton. I dont feel safe walking around the streets. I dont feel safe when im at work as i fear my flat could be broken into. Everything is overpriced as the shops are 24hr.
Transport
Transport is very well linked. With multiple busses and trains passing through local station. Large road and cycle paths make the whole area very accsessable. Busses run all day and night seven days a week. Never had a problem getting home at 4 in the morning after a piss up outside the offy with the lads. I can highly recommend acton town station as being worth a visit. It has multiple lines and platforms very excitong stuff
Community
Parking is terrible. And the high street is always busy. Local clubs play music till the early hours. Then they sprawl into the streets for drunken brawls daily. If you like excitment and violence then your in for a treat. If you want a quiet night watching telly this might not be the area for you
Amenities
If i was to honestly review acton. I would have to say, its the most horrible place ive ever had the misfortune to visit, And unfortunatly work in. The local facilities are mainly food banks and honeless shelters, mixed with the pawn shops and bookmakers, contributes to the vast amout of filth that occupy the area. The big morrisons is decent, otherwise avoid.
Very low quality restaurants and shops in acton high street

What I enjoy the most about Chiswick is the feeling of being like a in small town, where people know and help one another.

I most like the fact we are in an area slightly cheaper than zone 1 & 2 so rent is just that little bit more affordable.
