Meanwood
On the outskirts of the city centre, Meanwood is a popular destination for those who need easy access to the city centre, but can’t afford the high rental on city centre accommodation.
In recent years, it has been the feature of a massive rejuvenation project, resulting in many of the older terraced housing being demolished, in favour of newer housing developments and apartment complexes. Despite the significant investment, this area is still however very much an affordable area of Leeds, with the added advantage of being close to the city centre, whilst also benefiting from a large section of green belt land.
Situated within the heart of this green belt area is the Meanwood Valley Nature Reserve, which features extensive surrounding woodland and some truly stunning scenery, great for getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life when you need to!
Not to be outdone however, Meanwood also benefits from a variety of shops, takeaways and local pubs and restaurants, and is serviced by excellent bus routes into Leeds city centre, making it an ideal commute for the student and young professional alike.
Average rental prices for a good quality of accommodation in this area range from £58.00 - £68.00 per week.
