Local Area Guide
A brief guide to choosing the best area for you
Whether you want to be within walking distance from the vibrant York city centre or prefer the serenity of village life and being part of the community, there is an area of York that will suit your needs.
Central locations include Bootham, Bishopthorpe Road/South Bank, Heworth, Holgate and Clifton. These areas tend to be popular with families who want to be close to the action and within proximity to the station and all other amenities.
