High Garrett is a neighbourhood on the edge of Braintree in Essex, England, characterised by a mix of residential streets and light industrial and retail estates. It sits close to the town centre and benefits from the practical transport links that serve the wider Braintree area, making it a convenient spot for local businesses and people who commute to nearby centres.
The area reflects Braintree's longer industrial and market-town history, having grown as the town expanded in the 20th century; today it supports a varied community of long‑standing residents and newer arrivals drawn by affordable housing and employment on nearby estates. Local life is shaped by the amenities of Braintree - shops, schools and green spaces - while good road and rail connections to places such as Chelmsford and London mean many residents travel further afield for work.
