Skipton South is a residential area situated directly south of the town centre, primarily composed of housing estates that developed through the 20th century.

A notable local feature is the Airedale Hospital, a major employer and healthcare hub for the wider region. The area is practical and well-connected, with the railway station providing regular services to Leeds, Bradford, and Lancaster. Green spaces like Aireville Park, with its sports fields and outdoor pool, offer recreational space within this largely residential part of the market town.
