The net effect has been the freeing-up of unprecedented amounts of acreage for much-needed redevelopment attracting a new breed of tenants priced out of postcodes closer to the center of town.<\/p>\n<p>A landmark development which entered the area in 2009,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.benhams.com\/london-area-guides\/beaufort-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beaufort Park<\/a> occupies a convenient position situated within five minutes walking distance of Colindale Tube station. Served by the Northern Line, residents can be at their city desks in under half an hour. The line also divides into two at Camden Town, which allows passengers to access the West End without any complicated train swaps.<\/p>\n<p>Set amongst eight acres of landscaped gardens, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benhams.com\/new-developments\/beaufort-park-london\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beaufort Park<\/a> is an impressively put-together collection of apartment buildings with its own shops, residents\u2019 spa and on-site restaurants. The pedestrianized communal areas are laid out in a series of wide tree-lined boulevards giving the place a distinctive villagey feel. We also have a dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benhams.com\/contact\/colindale-letting-agents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lettings branch<\/a> at the development so we are on the spot to help tenants and landlords and always have a steady flow of good properties available.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9053\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9053\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9053\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benhams.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/BP.jpg\" alt=\"bp\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.benhams.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/BP.jpg 569w, https:\/\/www.benhams.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/BP-200x137.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9053\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Living at Beaufort Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Rentals at Beaufort Park<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Studio apartments from \u00a3230 per week<\/li>\n<li>One-bedroom apartments from \u00a3330 per week<\/li>\n<li>Two-bedroom apartments from \u00a3400 per week<\/li>\n<li>Three-bedroom apartments from \u00a3530 per week<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Over on the other side of Aerodrome Road from Beaufort Park, another extensive new property development is taking shape. <strong>Colindale Gardens,<\/strong> which are expected to roll out in Autumn 2017 will extend from Colindale Tube station all the way to the fringes of Hendon.<\/p>\n<h2>Projected rentals at Colindale Gardens<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>One-bedroom apartments from \u00a3330 per week<\/li>\n<li>Two-bedroom apartments from \u00a3400 per week<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both Beaufort Park and Colindale Gardens are a short walk\/bus ride from Mill Hill which is one of North West London&#8217;s most sought after neighbourhoods.

The line also runs north to St Albans city centre and Luton Airport.<\/p>\n<p>A cluster of commercial sites along the important A5 route into London is where the next phase of regeneration is taking place in what could be called Colindale&#8217;s \u2018Old Quarter\u2019.
