Catchment is not a promise
A house advertised as in catchment may not be next year. The local council publishes last year's furthest distance offered for each school. Ask for that figure in writing before you offer.
Ratings age too. An Outstanding judgement can be several years old, and inspections since September 2024 report differently. Read the current report rather than the agent's summary of it.

| Who it suits | Out of five | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Families | ★★★★☆ | Good schools (Montpelier and North Ealing primaries are Good; Ealing Fields is a Good CofE secondary; St Benedict's and Durston House are well-known independents), the Common, Walpole Park and Pitzhanger, a strong family suburb, at a premium. |
| Professionals | ★★★★★ | Ealing Common on the District and Piccadilly lines (direct to the West End and Heathrow) plus the Elizabeth line at nearby Ealing Broadway, an affluent leafy setting and excellent amenities, a superb base for professionals. |
| Commuters | ★★★★★ | A rare triple choice, the District and Piccadilly lines from Ealing Common (with the Piccadilly line direct to Heathrow) and the Elizabeth line, GWR and Central line at Ealing Broadway close by, make this an outstanding commuter address. |
| Upsizers | ★★★★☆ | Grand Edwardian and Victorian houses on and around the Common give real family space and character, handsome, sought-after and firmly at West London prices, but genuinely special homes. |
| First-time buyers | ★★★☆☆ | Purpose-built and mansion-block flats from around £350,000 to £550,000 offer a way into a superbly connected suburb, but house prices are firmly at affluent West London levels, so it is a stretch for many. |
