Why So Many People Choose to Live Near Hull

Hull itself has seen major regeneration in recent years, especially since being named UK City of Culture in 2017. However, many people choose to live just outside the city, in the surrounding villages of the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Living near Hull offers:

• Easy access to the city centre
• Strong transport links via the A63 and rail networks
• Highly regarded schools
• Safer, quieter residential environments
• Beautiful countryside and green spaces

For many families, the ideal balance is found in the villages just west of Hull.
