We've all heard of places like Alwoodley, Cookridge, Adel and Horsforth. But Mark Manning, MD of Manning Stainton, has picked out these areas as some of the hottest suburbs that are still affordable yet likely to go up in price in the coming years:
1. Kirkstall
Kirkstall’s very much on an upward journey and its house prices are increasing. The suburb offers buyers a massively diverse mix of housing to choose from, and its close proximity to the city centre, along with seamless new rail links, means it’s an attractive spot for city workers who want a short commute. It also offers residents an eclectic mix of local shops, eateries and pubs, as well as a selection of good schools, plus with some high-profile new developments coming to the area, it still has a lot more to give.

3. Burley
Previously Burley was a favourite with local students, but as more purpose-built student accommodation has been created, the area has started its return to the professional market. With a diverse community, the location has also recently benefitted from a whole host of new independent eateries and shops opening up.
4. Burley
Sitting between Kirkstall and the city centre, Burley boasts brilliant links to the city and benefits from affordable house prices, so it’s a great place to buy in if you want to get a strong return on your investment.

With that improvement has comes a wealth of young professional keen to settle in Chapeltown & Potternewton, which still boasts affordable prices and is close to the city centre, and within striking distance of places like Chapel Allerton and Meanwood.
6. Chapeltown & Potternewton
Historically, Chapeltown and Potternewton areas were not considered among the most desirable areas in Leeds. However, over time the location has benefitted from significant regeneration and the improvement of neighbouring suburbs.
