ADEL AREA GUIDE FOR PROFESSIONALS


FOR THOSE THAT WANT THE BENEFIT OF RURAL LIVING FROM A CITY LOCATION

</header></div>

Professional accommodation to rent in the Adel LS16 area of Leeds includes 1, 2 and 3 bedroom flats, houses and apartments. To determine whether Adel is the ideal location for your professional rented accommodation, read on...

Adel is situated on the northern outskirts of Leeds and still retains a village feel as it has managed to escape some of extensive development that Leeds has seen to date. It is a highly desirable residential area for a professional let in Leeds due to the prestigious properties found here and the close proximity to the countryside, and Golden Acre Park.

Living in Adel

This quiet residential area of Leeds has plenty to recommend it - large, spacious properties, a multitude of green spaces, independent delis and cafes and a rural vibe that’s a world away from the buzz of the city centre. For anyone who likes long walks in the park and a quiet pint after work, Adel is one of the best places in the city to live.

Why professionals choose Adel

Adel may be further away from major employment hotspots, but it’s surprisingly well-connected by road - the ring road lies just to the south of the area. Adel is also close by to some major employers in the retail, creative and hospitality sectors as well, making for a short commute for many professionals.

Restaurants and cafes

Cranberries, which is just down the road from Divino, serves cakes, pastries, salads and coffee to go, while there’s also a small cafe area where you can sit down and watch the locals whizz by. Stables Pub in nearby Weetwood does a nice line in traditional British cuisine.
