Carr Manor
Leeds 025 · 5 sub-areas · 8,475 residents
Leeds 025 is a residential neighbourhood within Leeds, home to around 8,475 people. A typical two-bedroom lets for about £960 a month — noticeably below the national average — and nearly seven in ten households own their home outright or with a mortgage, giving it a noticeably settled, owner-occupied feel compared to much of the city.
Carr Manor is a green, lower-density part of Leeds — parks within walking distance of most addresses, a slower weekday rhythm, and a population skewed toward longer-tenure households rather than transient renters. Most homes are owner-occupied, so turnover is low and many residents have been here a long time; a high share of adults are degree-educated, which often shows up in the kind of jobs people commute to.

Living in Carr Manor
This corner of Leeds sits firmly in owner-occupier territory. Around 70% of residents own their home, which is high even by suburban Leeds standards, and the neighbourhood has a broad spread of ages — under-18s and 35–49s each account for roughly a quarter of the population. That mix tends to produce the kind of area where families stay put rather than cycle through.
