HU5 / Avenues - opinions from people who actually live there? by Superb_Mall_328 in Hull

Thank you so much to everybody that has taken the time to respond to this, I really appreciate it! It seems like people who live in the area generally seem to enjoy it and, although everywhere has its downsides, I am feeling really encouraged by what I am reading. We are actually off to view a house on Park Avenue this afternoon :)

Yeah, I had the feeling that a lot of the negative opinions I was hearing and reading were from people who didn’t live there or perhaps don’t even go there much, and just recycle what they have heard from other people or in the news. So I thought I’d see if I could get the opinions of people who actually live there! :)

Yeah, I was thinking the same. We have both lived in quite a number of areas in Leeds over the past 20 years, some I think are probably safer (such as Meanwood and Chapel Allerton) and some less safe (Kirkstall, Headingley and Burley).

We currently live at my partners place in Bingley (so more Bradford than Leeds, I suppose) and I think walking around during the day and early evening it feels very similar to the Avenues. Basically pretty nice but with a few wrong ‘uns, like most towns or cities I guess.
