Acomb, Dringhouses and Woodthorpe
West York's inter-war and post-war semis, many with front gardens deep enough for parking and old concrete strips to replace. Block paving and resin are both popular here.
Clifton, Rawcliffe and Skelton
Victorian villas and terraces in Clifton, much of it a conservation area, with 1960s and later homes towards Rawcliffe and Skelton. Some streets lie close to the Ouse, so drainage needs thought.
Heworth, Tang Hall and Osbaldwick
A mix of 1930s semis, council-built homes and older terraces in the east of the city. Frontages vary a lot, so we check depth and kerb access early.
Fulford and Heslington
Large Edwardian and Victorian houses in Fulford, older village homes in Heslington. Gravel and sett-edged drives often suit, and many properties are in conservation areas.
Huntington and New Earswick
Family homes from many eras on the north-east side of York. Longer tarmac or block paved drives are common.
Haxby, Wigginton and Strensall
Large villages to the north with generous plots and plenty of 1970s to 1990s houses. Wider drives and turning areas are popular.
Copmanthorpe, Bishopthorpe and the Poppletons
Villages to the south and west with brick cottages, newer homes and conservation areas at their centres. Gravel and clay pavers sit well here.
