Hey, I know a lot about Leeds. Private message me if you have any questions. Sounds like you should move there from what youāve said! I can recommend a few areas. Chapel Allerton is a very nice, leafy part of north leeds. lots of bars and restaurants. Itās expensive to buy there, Iām not sure about renting. Full of Young professionals who are a bit old for the student areas of Headingley or burley but still want a bit of liveliness.
Headingley - lots going on but quite studenty. There are young professional lets etc.
Kirkstall again is quite a young area with a decent young people/ student population.
If I could choose itād Be Chapel Allerton any day
