It is one of eight areas within Yorkshire where the cost of the average home has risen by at least 60% during that time, with prices rising by more than half in many more neighbourhoods across the region.
We’ve crunched the data to compile a list of the 13 places within Yorkshire where prices rose by the biggest percentage between September 2019 and September 2024, the latest date for which localised housing statistics are available.
They include districts of Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford and Wakefield, among other areas.
The figures are taken from house price data published by the Office for National Statistics.
The neighbourhoods with the fastest rising house prices range from charming countryside villages to buzzing city centre spots.
The average house price in the cheapest of those areas is just £112,900, compared with £390,000 in the most expensive.
We’ve looked at what makes them increasingly popular places to live, including good schools, a friendly community, great pubs, cafes and restaurants, and picturesque countryside walks.
Some are considered among the best places to live in Yorkshire, while others have not traditionally been the most sought-after but are becoming more popular partly due to their affordability.
13. Highfield and Lowfield - 121.1% increase
The average house price in Highfield and Lowfield, Sheffield, has risen by 121.1% in the last five years, to £167,500. That's the biggest percentage increase anywhere in Yorkshire. Great parks, excellent local pubs, bars and cafes, and the proximity to Sheffield all contribute to its appeal. | Google Photo: Google
