Hull North housing
Really, it's hard to know where Hull North starts - probably off Spring Bank up Prince's Avenue, the latest 'in' spot in the city.
This place is heaving night and day with its bars, cafes, live music, and restaurants serving food from around the world; and this reflects the rest of Hull North in many ways.
For this is student-ville, with the thousands who attend Hull University - said to be the friendliest in the country - bringing party time most of the time to an area which has weathered the changes of the decades pretty well.
Hull North, like Hull East, has a character of its own. It's part of a big city, but there's a local identity in which residents have pride.
It's a melting pot, a grand mix of many races and creeds, and with that has come a multi-cultural mixture of shops, of bars and of restaurants, all coming together to make North Hull feel alive and buzzing with a youthful vitality.
Property in Hull North
Property in Hull North is a grand mix of old and new. The Avenues, for example, has substantial houses from another era in long roads lined with trees; it's all rather twee, really, a genteel reminder of what things once where.
Traditional semis are a feature of large parts of the area, while the Newland Park district has grander, detached homes at the top end of the local property market.
Terraced homes are commonplace in some parts, as is student accommodation, mostly in flats, and there are new homes developments, too.
Elsewhere in Hull North there's been big change. North Hull Estate has been renovated with millions plunged into bringing old council homes up to date.
Property hotspots include Newland Park, Park Avenue, Westbourne Avenue, Riversdale Road, Oxenhope Road and Wellesley Avenue.
Living Here
Shopping:
There's something for everyone in Hull North.
Newland Avenue is popular and inexpensive, with most of the shops being locally owned family businesses of many years' standing.
The main Beverley Road has assorted shops and pubs but they are fewer and more spread out.
Chanterlands Avenue is another local shopping centre but it caters mainly for the Avenues area.
The ever busy Clough Road is home to some bigger national firms mainly in the home improvement and electrical fields such as MFI, Curry, Carpetright and Dunelm Mill.
Leisure and entertainment:
You name it and it's probably here. Prince’s Avenue boasts an up and coming scene that has become the trendiest place to be seen in Hull.
It has pubs, some smart Continental style café bars and restaurants, and the famous Adelphi club which attracts the latest and best in visiting and local bands.
This is an area which is THE place to be seen in. It's young, it's vibrant and it's all very different from how it was just a short time ago.
