We asked readers to recommend some of the best places in Yorkshire to set down roots, and the response was amazing.
From buzzy suburbs to picturesque rural outposts, there was a huge range of suggestions.
What makes somewhere a good place to live is highly subjective, of course, but friendly locals and a strong sense of community were key factors for many of you.
Open spaces, from pretty parks to stunning coastal walks; popular pubs, shops and cafes; and good transport links were also high on the agenda.
We couldn’t include all your recommendations but here’s our pick of some of the best places to live in Yorkshire, based on how many people suggested them and the reasons they gave.
They’re not all traditionally the most sought-after areas, but they do all have lots to recommend them, according to the people who know them best.
One of the areas has been named the UK’s happiest place to live, another has been called the nation’s most underrated town, and a third is home to one of Europe’s largest urban parks.
Thanks for all the suggestions. Did your neighbourhood make the list?
1. Filey
Filey is a lovely part of Yorkshire. It was recommended as a great place to live by, among others, Paul Cockcroft. He said: "Filey beach, no antisocial behaviour, awesome views , lovely setting." | Yorkshire Post News Photo: James Hardisty
2. Chapeltown, Sheffield
Chapeltown, in the north of Sheffield, is just nine minutes from Sheffield city centre by train and only 15 minutes from Barnsley. Lesley White said: "Chapeltown is right next to the countryside, but has a train station, a range of good shops, schools, a park and great pubs. I moved here in 2000, and I'm so glad I did." | Google Photo: Google
3. Skipton
Several people suggested the pretty market town of Skipton, in North Yorkshire, as one of the best places in the county to live. Known as the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, it was last year named as the UK's happiest place to live, following a survey by Rightmove. Linda Geeson said: "Skipton and Ilkley have been voted two of the best places to live, not only because of beauty but because of affordable housing and amenities." | Iconic Media Group Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
4. Whitby
Whitby is one of Yorkshire's most scenic spots, and, according to many of you, it's also among the best places to live. Mark Martin said: "Whitby. By the sea. Not too small. Better than Scarborough. Dracula." Another reader recommended it for the 'charm, the people, beautiful coastline, history, folklore', all of which they said it has 'in abundance'. If you're looking for somewhere close by that's a bit less busy, Mike Sewell suggested Hinderwell, which he said is 'just far enough from Whitby to be quiet, and within walking distance of Runswick Bay beach'. | Yorkshire Post Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
5. Dore
Picturesque Dore is the most expensive place in Sheffield to live, and there's a reason for that. Lots of people recommended Dore and neighbouring Totley as the best places to live. Paul Savage said the area is not just affluent but has a 'great community spirit'. | Iconic Media Group Photo: Dean Atkins
6. Roundhay, Leeds
Roundhay Park is one of the largest urban parks in Europe, with more than 700 acres of parkland, lakes, woodland and gardens. It's one reason why the Roundhay area of Leeds is among Yorkshire's most sought-after neighbourhoods, recommended by readers as a great place to live. The estate agency Monroe says it is 'popular with professionals and families in Leeds because of the ideal location, rural feel and its great selection of bars, cafes, restaurants and shops'. | YPN Photo: James Hardisty
