Right in the centre of the student area of Leeds, Hyde Park appeals to a number of groups.

Properties in Hyde Park tend to offer great value for money. Despite being in the popular LS6 postal area, compared to the more well-to-do Headingley and Beckett Park, houses here retail at more affordable prices to first-time buyers. Meanwhile, Hyde Park is becoming a safer, cleaner and more family-friendly place to live, thanks in no small part to a close-knit community.
Hyde Park is mainly for younger families and young professionals who want the convenience of living near Leeds City Centre but without the noise and traffic that some associate with that part of the city. It’s also for first-time buyers who want somewhere that has all of life’s essentials within a brisk walk of their home.
The predominant type of housing in Hyde Park is Victorian-era red brick terraces, although there are a few exceptions. Most of them have been fitted with double glazing and security features to make sure they stay in good condition, while many have compact front or back gardens that don’t require much upkeep.
In buying a property here, you won’t have to fork out as much as you might in other parts of Leeds. You’ll also be near the centre of Leeds too, which will come in handy for trips to museums with the kids, the commute to work or if you want a night out on the town. Hyde Park is also ideally located near other major suburbs including Headingley and has fantastic transport links to boot.
The local primary school in Hyde Park is Brudenell Primary; Leeds City Academy in Woodhouse is the nearest secondary.
