Why does South Bank/Bishy Road area remain such a popular place to live in York?

Part of the appeal is the balance it offers.

York city centre and the railway station are within walking distance, while the Knavesmire, Rowntree Park and riverside walks provide plenty of green space close to home.

Then there is Bishy Road itself, with its independent shops, cafés and restaurants giving the area a distinctive character and sense of community.

Our latest area guide looks at what makes the area work so well as a place to live.

Having lived in Bootham ourselves, we came to appreciate the combination of things that make it such an appealing place to live.
