According to the Office for National Statistics data, the gap between the city's most and least affluent areas remains significant.
The median house price in the most expensive area of Leeds reached a staggering £832,000, while in the city’s most affordable pockets, such as parts of Beeston and Harehills, it was just £116,000.
This widening gap is largely fuelled by a ‘flight to quality’ as buyers increasingly prioritise square footage and green space over city-centre proximity.
While the wider UK market has seen a period of stabilisation, Leeds continues to outperform many southern regions, with prestigious postcodes like LS17 and LS16 remaining resilient.
