It's official: Leeds is the best place to live in the North and North East, according to Sunday Times' Best Place to Live guide
Sunday Times' annual Best Places to Live guide has revealed that Leeds was number one among its eight best places to live in the North and North East.
Judges praised the city as the true northern powerhouse and the place to enjoy a good life on a good salary. They said: “Leeds has the best-paying jobs outside London. Five universities provide youthful energy and it’s the only UK city outside London to have its own opera, ballet and theatre companies.
Other Yorkshire places in this year's guide include Boston Spa, North Yorkshire, Nether Edge, Sheffield, Saltaire, West Yorkshire, Skipton, North Yorkshire and Yorkshire Wolds. Helen Davies, Best Places to Live editor, says: “This guide is a celebration of towns, cities and villages that are each a fantastic place to live in 2024, from Dunkeld to Knutsford, Falmouth to Leeds. Wherever you are on the property ladder, there will be somewhere to suit you.
“These are all places where you can feel grounded as well as upwardly mobile: they have a mature sense of community, lively, supportive high streets and an eye to the future, whether that is eco-friendly measures, transport and regeneration, or imaginative inclusion of new housing.” LeedsLive has launched a WhatsApp community and anyone who joins will get the latest breaking news and top stories sent direct to their phone.
