A more urban area than its northern counterpart, West Yorkshire is home to three large cosmopolitan cities: Leeds: Leeds, Wakefield, and Bradford, each offering a multitude of things to do and places to see.

Beyond these, market towns such as Huddersfield, Pontefract and Halifax, alongside charming villages, are some of the best places to find new homes in West Yorkshire.

From the Fairburn Ings nature reserve to the many green parks you can find around the county, and with a selection of educational institutions including the renowned University of York, West Yorkshire is the perfect place to settle down, raise a family and never run out of activities.

As well as our new build homes in West Yorkshire, we also have developments in South Yorkshire and North Yorkshire, but if you want to view all we have to offer in the region, please visit our Yorkshire page.
