Top areas to live in Leicester

Whether you’re looking for a city centre location or somewhere with plenty of space for your family, Leicester has a good mix. Here are some of the best places to live in Leicester, and a little guide to what makes them great.

Oadby

Just ten minutes out of Leicester, Oadby has the best of both worlds, with easy links to the city and access to pretty countryside to the south. With some of the best schools in the area, some of which are rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, Oadby is a natural pick for parents or anyone looking to start a family. However, you can expect to pay significantly more for properties here compared to other areas in Leicester – the average property price in Oadby is around £327,000.

Syston

Syston is home to a thriving high street, full of independent shops and cafes and a good line-up of pubs and places to eat. Syston makes a great commuter town, not just for Leicester – with soldi rail links to Loughborough, Nottingham and Lincoln, and the A46 and A607 nearby. You can expect to pay around the Leicester average, with house prices at around £226,000.

Glenfield

Three miles from Leicester, Glenfield is a charming village that’s home to the well-reviewed Glenfield hospital. There are some strong transport links, as the village has easy access to the M1. If you’re looking for a place to retire, Glenfield could be a good choice, as it has plenty of green spaces and larger properties, including bungalows. House prices are reasonable for Leicester, at an average of £238,000.

Clarendon Park

Well known for its period properties, Clarendon Park is ideal for students and professionals commuting into Leicester. At the crossroads of Clarendon Park Road and Queen’s Road, you’ll find a bustling high street, with plenty of independent shops and cafes, creating a vibrant community hub. Properties are in high demand here, but you’re still looking at an average property price of £236,000.

Aylestone

Despite being just over a mile away from the city centre, Aylestone has retained a lot of its personality and charm. Centred around a 13th century church, the historic village of Aylestone is often referred to as simply ‘the village’ by residents. If you live here, you can enjoy wide open green space in Aylestone Meadows, the largest nature reserve in Leicester. House prices in Aylestone are cheaper than elsewhere in Leicester, averaging around £178,000.

One for aspiring astronauts of any age, the National Space Centre is a museum and education centre all about space. Featuring the UK’s largest planetarium and the iconic Rocket Tower, this is a great way to spend a day.

Leicester Cathedral

At the heart of Leicester city centre is the cathedral, a small but beautiful church with remarkable stained glass windows. The cathedral is famously home to the remains of King Richard III, who was reburied here in 2015 after his skeleton was discovered nearby.

Bradgate Park

Just outside of Leicester in Charnwood Forest lies Bradgate Park, a public park that covers more than 800 acres. With a river running through the park, wild deer roaming free, and beautiful British woodland, it’s a little haven of peace that’s popular with families, walkers and joggers.

Shopping in the Lanes

Along the cobblestoned Lanes area, you’ll find a range of delightful independent retailers, boutiques and stores. Specialising in stunning jewellery stores, you can find some amazing one-of-a-kind pieces here – and pause for a mid-shopping spree break at one of the charming tea rooms and cafes.
