I suppose so, I guess I just compare it to Chesham / Rickmansworth / Chorleywood where you can still use your Oyster card, though the commute will drive you to an early grave

Agree. This was one of the reasons we chose Borehamwood. Although we should have held out for Mill Hill.
Ime there's a lot of to be said for being able to pay £12p/d on transport and £20-30 for an Uber home.
Having had family friends from their I'd say the best thing about HW is the house sizes, transport and surrounding area (a bit like Borehamwood). I think there are decent schools if that matters... although when I was young it seemed like kids from there were fairly debauched.
(although this is from the perspective of someone who'd never leave zone 1 North London if they had the money so ymmv)

The commute costs are the same wherever though, at least on Chiltern Rail you usually get a seat. I agree re the HW darker side, it does mean it's cheaper than other places with a similar commute time
