York - what's this particular area like?

[ginzillas]

I'm after a bit of advice about York. We're currently living in Hertfordshire but are considering a move to North Yorkshire to be nearer to family. DH has found this lovely house in York. Nice leafy street and not too far from the centre but the schools nearby seem mixed. Just wondering if anyone knows this area and can give me some advice on it. Hope this link works!

By crunchy I mean that you will find many people who are very Eco-friendly/ have bike trailers or child carrying bikes instead of cars/ are vegan/ wear second hand or hand made clothes although they are well off/ don't have a television etc. Not everyone is like that, by any means, but it's an area with a higher than average proportion of people like that.

I have close friends in Dunnington. It is a lovely village with a great school and excellent links to York City Centre. A good mix of architecture from Georgian to modern houses. It's worth a look.

MollyBdenum, gotcha!

Thanks for the very helpful lists of areas. We need to go up there and have a wander around. We are going back and forth between living in a town. (Harrogate or Knaresborough) or city like York.
