York has a wide range of quality housing to suit most budgets and tastes.

Sensible prices and a beautiful environment help to keep demand high and return on investment healthy. As well as the traditional terraced and estate housing, York offers a range of more unusual options. You can, for example, choose to live within the historic city walls, either in period housing, or in an exclusive apartment development such as Emperor's Wharf, Westgate or Rowntree Wharf.

House prices in York are on average 13% lower than those of the South East and nearly 46% lower than London.
