Woodhouse is a largely residential area just north of the city centre of Leeds and home to the University of Leeds. Woodhouse is now a largely working-class area, with a racially diverse population and a sizeable student community.
The area climbs a hill rising from Woodhouse Moor, adjacent to the University of Leeds, and backs onto woodland known as Woodhouse Ridge, a part of the Meanwood Valley Trail and the Forest of Leeds.
Older residences are largely redbrick back-to-back and ‘through’ terraced housing. There are also concrete council houses (the Holborn Estate) and a mixture of more modern buildings, particularly student accommodation. There is a small amount of light industry.
