Horsforth
This one is a great fit for pretty much everybody. It’s the perfect example of a great all-rounder in terms of residential parts of Leeds.
There’s few areas that can boast being an ideal spot for young professionals, thanks to its excellent transport links and great nightlife, as well as being ideal for families, boasting exceptional schools and a thriving local community.
Horsforth is one of the most popular parts of Leeds across all ages and it’s easy to see why: it’s a great choice no matter who you are.

Rawdon
A picturesque market town, Rawdon is something of a hidden gem within the city of Leeds. It’s not as well-known as some other residential areas, including some that have already featured on this list.
However, its quaint good looks, excellent schools, beautiful houses, sensational greenery and more are all reasons why you shouldn’t overlook this often-forgotten underdog.

Yeadon
Reportedly home to the world’s oldest fish and chip shop, Yeadon is a town that is steeped in history.
However, that doesn’t mean this area of Leeds is looking to be put out to pasture any time soon.
With stunning green spaces and plenty of family friendly activities and things to do nearby, alongside an excellent array for accommodation options, Yeadon is an fantastic choice for families of any size.
Far Headingley
An area of increasingly luxury, Far Headingley is located just three miles outside of Leeds city centre.
Situated of course, just a tad beyond Central Headingley itself, the area is now subject to new developments and is an increasing area of interest to young professionals and families.
