People living in cities are using urban green spaces more than ever with visits to parks and green spaces up by 25% according to Natural England’s Urban Greenspaces report [\[i\]](#_edn1). Access to green spaces is often a major attraction for those searching for a new home, with those in close reach of good parks in high demand.

The Tramyard, a new development recently launched by Joseph Homes, is situated midway between the three commons – Clapham, Wandsworth and Tooting – three of South [London’s](https://www.financedigest.com/london-listed-spac-moves-closer-to-launch-of-lloyds-insurance-vehicle.html) largest green spaces. This desirable neighbourhood in Balham village is ideal for those that want to enjoy the outdoors, as well as offering excellent transport links and vibrant local nightlife.

It is clear that city dwellers are placing [higher value](https://www.financedigest.com/delivery-hero-sees-higher-gross-merchandise-value-in-third-quarter.html "Delivery Hero sees higher gross merchandise value in third quarter") on access to green space, as people appreciate its benefits both in terms of health, as well as increasing the desirability of a neighbourhood. The commons of South London are an invaluable asset for local people, offering a place to take exercise, [meet friends and spend time](https://www.financedigest.com/beijing-meets-state-air-quality-standards-for-first-time-in-2021.html "Beijing meets state air quality standards for first time in 2021") outdoors, which is known to help improve well-being. Properties at The Tramyard are conveniently located within easy walking distance of the three commons, which together total over 600 acres of public amenity space.

The Tramyard, once [London’s](https://www.financedigest.com/london-listed-spac-moves-closer-to-launch-of-lloyds-insurance-vehicle.html) last working tram depot, occupies a prime location on Balham High Road, between Balham and Tooting Bec underground stations, ideally located for young professionals who want to be in easy reach of all that South London has to offer. The development offers 70 stylish one and two-bedroom apartments and two and three-bedroom duplexes, all created with Joseph Homes’ trademark [eye for design and attention](https://www.financedigest.com/eye-tracking-findings-emphasise-the-importance-of-measuring-attention-in-digital-advertising.html "Eye tracking findings emphasise the importance of measuring attention in digital advertising") to detail.

Balham village is an area of [London](https://www.financedigest.com/london-listed-spac-moves-closer-to-launch-of-lloyds-insurance-vehicle.html) that is spoilt for choice when it comes to access to green spaces, but it also has that sought after combination of nightlife, transport and community feel. Following the recent launch of The Tramyard, 50% of phase one homes are reserved, showing we have hit on that winning combination.”

As well as an enviable location, homes at The Tramyard boast exceptional interiors meticulously designed to meet the needs of modern lifestyles.

Balham’s nightlife is a big draw, with everything from comedy venues and club nights, to bars, gigs and movies. The three commons do not only offer opportunities to spend [time in green](https://www.financedigest.com/why-manufacturers-mustnt-lose-their-green-focus-in-troubled-times.html "WHY MANUFACTURERS MUSTN’T LOSE THEIR GREEN FOCUS IN TROUBLED TIMES") open space, but also boast other attractions such as swimming at Tooting Lido and music festivals on Clapham Common, not to mention tennis courts, playgrounds, sports pitches and coffee shops.
