Challney

LU4 8 / LU4 9

Family-friendly

Challney sits between the town centre and the railway line and is a practical choice for commuters wanting Thameslink access without central Luton prices. The housing stock is varied, mixing Victorian terraces with postwar semis and some social housing. There is a small local centre and a couple of schools, and the area has a settled, unremarkable quality that suits a lot of people perfectly well.
