Housing in Hull
New homes
Hull offers a unique opportunity for anyone looking for a great place to live and exceptional value for money. A unique combination of stylish new apartments, Georgian townhouses and country cottages all within a short commute, means that Hull and its surrounding area offers an extensive yet affordable range of exceptional housing choices to suit all tastes and every budget.
Properties are significantly more affordable in comparison with other cities as demonstrated by the average price of a detached property at £150,343 - a more reasonable sum when compared against the national average for England and Wales which is estimated at £235,552.
The historic, market town of Beverley, situated just a short drive away from Hull's city centre, is at the top of the Royal Bank of Scotland's affordable affluent index, based on a report which searches the country for the most affluent places to live at the most reasonable prices. Hull has been identified as a key area for property investment, featuring recently in the press and media as a property hotspot.
City centre living - from £75,000
City centre living has exploded over recent years as more and more people are choosing to reside in the bustling heart of the city. Taking pride of place in the picturesque Queen's Gardens, the BBC Regional Headquarters also offer a variety of stylish apartments, where residents can enjoy the convenience of a city centre location with beautifully kept recreational space within a few minutes walk.
Alternatively, if it's a waterfront view that takes your fancy, there's the much sought after Pilot Office overlooking the breathtaking Humber Estuary. Trinity Wharf is another popular choice, with a series of chic apartments overlooking the River Hull and more on the way as part of the next phase. Not to forget the host of stunning new residential developments already in the pipeline, or very close to completion in the case of Freedom Quay, a striking new development situated at Hull's premier waterfront business district, the city living boom is a trend that is guaranteed to continue.
Waterfront city village - from £100,000
Victoria Dock, Hull's impressive waterfront residential development, presents a unique city village living experience within an exclusive, self-contained area. Conveniently placed just a short walk away from the vibrant city centre, residents can enjoy an excellent quality of life by making the best of both worlds.
Overlooking the water there's modern apartments, stylish townhouses and larger family homes, available to buy or let to accommodate the needs of business professionals, young couples and families alike.
On top of this you'll find landscaped parks, impeccably kept areas of greenery, a popular village hall, an award-winning primary school and first class day nursery. And just like any village there's a real sense of community spirit with regularly organised events and fun days.
And with Sir Terry Farrell's architectural gem, The Deep, on its door step, residents also have some of the best views in town.
The Avenues - from £200,000
Hiding amongst the leafy suburbs, lies Princes Avenue, an area described as the 'Notting Hill' of Hull on the strength of its bohemian character, refreshing mix of people, live music, speciality shops and cosmopolitan eateries. Located close to the University and thriving student community, it's heavily influenced by the popular cafe culture, providing a laid-back alternative to the fast-paced city centre. Its impressive variety of large, traditional Victorian properties, offer generous living space suitable for families.
Bursting with character and individuality, it's one of the coolest places to have a pad and is consequently attracts a varied mix of residents.
Beverley market town and East Riding Villages - from £200,000
Just 20 minutes outside of Hull's lively urban centre, unspoilt villages and elegant market towns offer secluded rural retreats within truly picturesque surroundings. The East Riding of Yorkshire's villages suit the tastes of residents looking for a more relaxed lifestyle, complete with breathtaking scenery and stunning views.
Slightly further afield, on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, is the charming town of Beverley whose historic old buildings, including the impressive Minster, date back hundreds of years. Properties here include a mixture of styles and ages ranging from Georgian terraces and homely bungalows to spacious traditional housing, specially designed for families. Complemented by the nearby Beverley Westwood, residents can make the most of the area's outstanding natural beauty and idyllic views across a generous expanse of countryside which also features a popular race and golf course.
