Open the Leeds map ->
Where these numbers come from. Purchase prices for 39 of 39 areas are medians of recorded sales in each area's postcode district from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, January 2025 to September 2026. Safety is a relative rank of police.uk recorded street crime, compared across every English area we cover. Two-bed rents, school and lifestyle scores are indicative. A district median is not a valuation of any one home.

Boroughly covers 39 neighbourhoods and nearby towns across 4 council areas (Leeds, Bradford, North Yorkshire, Wakefield). Sale medians run from £155k in Beeston to £427k in Wetherby. Centres with lots of flats tend to show lower medians than family suburbs even where space costs more per square metre, so compare like with like when you look at listings.

How to read these Leeds figures

Each purchase figure is the middle price of all standard residential sales recorded in the area's postcode district, so it mixes flats and houses, new builds and resales. Some neighbouring areas share a postcode district and therefore a median: Headingley and Hyde Park and Meanwood; Chapel Allerton and Chapeltown; Roundhay and Oakwood and Harehills; Rawdon and Yeadon, and others. Street-level prices within a district can differ a lot. Rents are indicative two-bedroom estimates, not advertised rents; check current listings. Journey times are distance-based estimates to Leeds city centre, not timetabled journeys.

Use the moving checklist to compare the total monthly cost of a home, routes at the hours you travel, school admissions and local amenities. Then open the map to weight what matters to you and rank every Leeds area against it.
