Potters Bar's Oakmere ward sits in the town's south-eastern quadrant, primarily defined by residential neighbourhoods. The area is characterised by a mix of housing types, from post-war semi-detached homes to more modern developments. Local shopping needs are served by several small parades of shops, while larger retail options are found closer to the town centre. Green spaces are integrated throughout, with playing fields and smaller recreational areas providing local amenities for residents.
