Article Summary

Leeds residents have long known the wonders of the city’s Roundhay Park. Now, according to two recent studies by Flowercard and PoundToy, the Leeds park has been rated as one of the best in the country.

Desire for outdoor space

Both studies looked at TripAdvisor reviews of parks across the UK, with the PoundToy research also taking annual Google searches into account. The Flowercard study ranked Roundhay Park as the eighth best for beauty in the UK, while PoundToy listed it in its top ten most loved parks.

But what does this mean for people with a Leeds property investment? Following the coronavirus pandemic and months spent in lockdown, tenants requirements for a rental property have changed. Now, high on tenants’ wishlists are easy access to outdoor space – something many renters would pay more for.

Owning a buy to let property near a park – especially one as well-loved as Roundhay – is a good way to generate high rental demand and premium yields.

A truly special park

So what is it that makes Roundhay Park so special? It is one of the biggest urban parks in Europe, spreading over 700 acres of breath-taking scenery. Roundhay’s landscape covers parkland, woodland, gardens and lakes.

There is even a children’s play park, tennis courts and a café. Making Roundhay Park a particularly fun visitor experience is its Tropical World – beautiful greenhouses full of exotic plants and animals.

With so much to see and do it is easy to see why Roundhay Park boasts millions of visitors each year and has a 4.5 rating on TripAdvisor. The reviews enthuse that it’s a ‘beautiful place [with] fantastic views and [a] gorgeous lake’ and how ‘it’s frankly outstanding to find such a fabulous place only three miles north of Leeds City Centre.’

High demand for local properties

North Property Group have previously made available a number of exciting buy to let properties near Roundhay Park. One of these was Avenue Court, a boutique scheme of just 8 apartments located in Chapel Allerton and just 5 minutes away from Roundhay Park.

Due to the proximity to some of the best outdoor space in the country, a Leeds property investment in this area is likely to be in high demand from both investors and tenants.
