Now, let’s dive in…
Leicester - LE1
Leicester has below average property prices – more like the north of England – but it’s far enough south to benefit from the more buoyant economy in the south of England. The small but well-established city centre consists of flats and townhouses in a pretty waterside setting. The centre also has a strong, modern economy based on manufacturing and distribution. The employment prospects are good, which is a benefit to those buying property here.
Oadby - LE2
Oadby is a charming area of Leicester on the outskirts of the city, providing the ultimate suburban lifestyle. It is most popular with families due to its numerous parks and easy commute to the city centre. There’s a range of local amenities, shops, good OFSTED rated schools and nurseries which means its an area constantly in high demand. Landlords will never run out of tenants in Oadby.
Syston - LE7
Syston is another Leicester suburb that is very popular. Syston is located to the north of Leicester city centre and with little over 11 thousand people according to a relatively recent census it’s a quiet town with access to the city if necessary.
Evington - LE5
An outer suburb of Leicester, Evington is home to around 11,000 residents. It’s well connected, offering great amenities as well as quick and easy access to the wider city. The B667 road means driving to the centre is possible in around 12 minutes. It also means it’s popular with tenants who are looking for a commuter town to live in. Landlords won’t have trouble filling their properties in Evington.
Clarendon Park - LE2
Clarendon Park is known for its period properties, lively local shops, and great central location, right next to Leicester city centre. It’s really popular with students, young professionals and families. It’s only two miles from the city centre so it’s ideal for commuters as well as students at Leicester University. The A50 and A6 provide easy access to Leicester’s ring road and landlords have lots of different tenant types to choose from here.
