The city’s property market often bucks the trends of surrounding towns and cities. Indeed, Leeds has seen the biggest property prices rises* since the 2020 peak – an increase of 15% – compared to West Yorkshire’s three other biggest cities and towns, with Bradford house prices up 13%, Huddersfield’s increasing by 8% and Wakefield’s growing 6%.
When it comes to choosing where to live in Leeds, many people now seek the ease and energy efficiency of a newly built home, which also comes with the benefits of moving to a fresh community, often with modern facilities and green spaces to enjoy.
We are the UK’s largest premium homebuilder and Leeds has been a focus of the company’s investment in recent years.
Steve Jackson, sales director for Redrow Yorkshire, said: “Thanks to its buoyant property market and high demand for new homes, we’ve been keen to find new locations for developments in Leeds over recent years. We now have a superb collection in and around the city, all in carefully chosen locations, which offer a better way to live. We can offer homebuyers a great choice of up-and-coming areas and established residential communities, with a wide range of designs to suit everyone, and all close to excellent facilities and public transport hubs.
“What’s more, new houses can offer an annual average saving of £2,600 compared to an older home, and it’s now estimated that it costs an average of £70,000 to bring an old property up to the standard of a modern new build.”
We’ve rounded up some of the best new suburbs and villages to live around Leeds:
