    We are moving to leeds next month after school ends. My husbands work place would be 5-10 mins walk from city centre. Can anyone recommend schools. My daughter will go to senior infants next year, what area to live in etc. My husband is open to cycling for abt 8 kms and or train journey of about 30 hrs. what are good residential areas to live.
    Ready to spend upto 900-1000 pounds max on rent.

    Roundhay is lovely. North East of the city, about 3-4 miles from city centre. nice area, loads of green space. affluent area. no scumbags. Easy access to A1M and M1, don't know much about the schools

    That is where we are looking to live. As we are having a kid, we got to know that Roundhay and around areas are very child friendly and also there are enough amount of schools and they are good.

    But looking on the renting market, looks like more properties are available unfurnished there.If getting a furnished one is it a norm to bargain the rent or it is what is said?

    Horsforth or Chapel Allerton I'd recommend having lived in Leeds for years and still a frequent visitor.
