That Ben Westwood to Leeds rumour was true then.

South Seacroft. The rest isnt that bad.

BOOOOOOOOOO I thought you was alright 'til you declared that. its like with some of those at HMRC!

Swarcliffe right next to Seacroft

No i know its not too bad in places but its shocking in others iv worked around a lot of Leeds and your right there is far worse places

The worst being Belle Isle.

It's closed and been sold. Boarded up and looked like there were some surveyors outside it last week.

Back to the original poster Armley's not terrible but it's no leafy suburb. You do get the odd group of youths hanging around now and then but they're no bother. I've been living there for 6 years and had little trouble in that time.
It's handy for town with plenty of buses, has the usual shops/amenities/pubs on town street, a leisure centre (they're halfway through building a new one next door) and a golf course.
If you've go the money to live elsewhere then I would reccomend doing so, depending on your budget, what you're looking for and how far you want to travel then Farsley, Rodley or Calverley may be worth looking into.

Tbh with regards to the OP i would recommend he does listen to Mr Emmerson, what he lacks in timekeeping he more than makes up in usefull tidbits.

Yeah I had a look round the areas on Google street view and saw that there is a decent enough 'high street' in the area plus loads of buses to get into the city. Any idea on when the new leisure centre will be finished?

Thanks again!

When I was 4 our family GP managed to make up some bollox about me being allergic to central heating to get us moved out of Seacroft - to Gipton. Read into that what you will.
