About

Swarcliffe is a residential suburb situated in east Leeds, bound by the A64 to the north and Whinmoor to the south. The area is characterised by post-war housing, primarily consisting of terraced and semi-detached homes, alongside several low-rise apartment blocks and local shopping parades. Its layout includes numerous green spaces and tree-lined streets, with Swarcliffe Park providing a central recreational area for the community.

The area is served by several local schools and community centres, which form hubs for local activities. A notable feature is the presence of the historic Swarcliffe Hall, a 19th-century manor house set within its own grounds, which contrasts with the surrounding modern development. Public transport connections link the area to Leeds city centre and neighbouring suburbs, supporting its primarily residential function.
