Leeds
is a vibrant, bustling city offering the best in city
centre living lifestyle. With 1,000 shops, 20 major hotels,
152 pubs, bars and cafes and 29 nightclubs with bars
and late licenses, it is fast becoming the entertainment
capital of the north.
Leeds is an exceptionally green city, encompassing beautiful
formal gardens and contrasting countryside trails through
the wharf valley. With a host of museums, stately homes
and art galleries, some only 10 minutes walk from West
Point, Leeds offers a diverse cultural experience.
Shopaholics are in for a treat. Leeds boasts a unique
mixture of stylish pedestrianised high streets, state
of the art shopping centres, Victorian arcades, historic
buildings and yards and Edwardian markets.
Leeds is the UK's fastest growing city with the second
largest employment total outside London. It is recognised
as the capital of Yorkshire and Humber regions, with
an estimated value of the city's economy of 12 billion
pounds and is projected to grow by a third in the next
ten years.
The need for professional accommodation is simple. According
to research by property agents Knight
Frank, there are around 86,000 young professionals
in Leeds while only 2,300 city centre flats and homes
were completed in the four years up to April 2004. Cambridge
Econometrics forecast that an additional 31,000 jobs
will be created in Leeds by
2013; around a third of this increase will be in the
increasingly important financial and business services
sector.
West Point is central to all of this and more and with
the Leeds city centre being compact, everything that Leeds
city centre has to offer is within 10 minutes walk.
