The highest-priced streets in AL9 and AL10 have been revealed – and only one of them is in Hatfield itself.
Land Registry data for the five years to June 2021 (excluding streets with fewer than three transactions) showed that upmarket Brookmans Park is home to most of the area's premium properties, with the biggest hitter averaging in excess of £2m.
These are the five most expensive streets in (and around) town...

With an average price of £2,285,000, Kentish Lane is the area's most prestigious address by a solid £400,000 margin. The most recent sale on the street was in 2020, when a huge pad with pool, jacuzzi and sauna changed hands for £4.5m – the fourth most expensive residential sale in Herts that year. A fun fact is that single and former X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos lived at posh Edge House about a decade ago, though its understood she was only renting.

This leafy hotspot on the fringes of Brookmans Park had an average sale price of £1,874,000. Woodfield Lane's ranking has been skewed slightly by the sale of 10,000 sq ft Woodfield House, which changed hands for £3,737,000 in 2018. Features of the property include an indoor leisure complex, garaging for five cars and a floodlit tennis court.
