The folk with cash on this forum tend not to talk about it.
I grew up in Harpenden, parents still live there, nice driving roads, my wife's folks live near to Rickmansworth.
The magic place you describe to live around London does not exist, it is all a trade off of convenience versus location, and yes the prices you quote are about the starting level.
I live here because I have to.
Hope this helps
Indeed. It's all a trade-off.

I lived 36 miles from C London (Hitchin) and it was 29 mins to King's Cross. Just moved to Carshalton (14 miles from work) but it takes over an hour now.

My new area is sooooooooooooooo much nicer to live in, so I accept the extra travel time despite being nearer to work. Happy to get up a bit earlier as my living is mile nicer.
