O/T Moving to Leeds : Wed May 06, 2009 10:03 pm  

Hey!

I am starting a job in Leeds in the next couple of months and so am looking to rent within a few miles of the city centre. I'm currently looking in Armley - any good or bad points about this area, or can anyone recommend other areas I could be looking? I'll be renting a 2 bed flat.

Cheers in advance!

Good points? It's easy to get out of I suppose.

Cue predictable retorts of "says the bloke who lives in Bramley".

As long as you're not set on the idea of living in Leeds you could consider Shipley. It's about 12-13 miles from Leeds but train links are excellent (trains take about 15 mins and there are 3 or 4 an hour). I live in a place called Victoria Mills and there are plenty of apartments to choose from. Worth a look if you struggle to find anything in and around Leeds.

The Mrs used to share a house in armley before we shacked up - we never had any problems with the area.

Handy for town / headingley.
