Homeowners can be sure to find 'the one' in Leeds

New developments offer a real range of living environments from vibrant urban neighbourhoods and commuter suburbs to semi-rural villages and scenic communities.

In the current climate of high energy costs, newly built homes deliver the energy efficient features that are increasingly in demand. New houses can offer an annual average saving of £2,200* on energy bills compared to an older home, and it’s now estimated that it costs an average of £70,000** to bring an old property up to the standard of a modern new build.

Redrow is the UK’s largest premium homebuilder and Leeds is the location for several of its most sought after developments in recent years. With a mix of well-established neighbourhoods and others emerging as thriving new communities, Redrow has homes for sale to appeal to a wide range of buyers.

We’ve rounded up some of the best new suburbs and villages to live around Leeds:
