Where to live in Halifax

Halifax neighbourhoods do not feel the same. Here is a practical comparison for people choosing a street, not a ranking.

A park and stone houses in Halifax

Start with the shape of the town

The centre is flats, shops and short walks to the Piece Hall, the bus station on Wade Street and the station on Horton Street. Read Halifax Town Centre if that is the search. Savile Park and Skircoat Green are larger houses south of the centre, near open ground and Manor Heath.

West and north-west, King Cross and Pellon are terraces on hills. Ovenden, Illingworth and Mixenden are further out, with more estate housing. East, Boothtown, Northowram and Southowram sit above the valley.

Towns that are still Calderdale

Sowerby Bridge and Luddenden Foot are west in the valley. Elland and Brighouse are south-east. Brighouse uses HD6 postcodes. The council is still Calderdale.

We are not ranking these places. We move houses and offices in them. A full home is house removals. A shorter hop once you are here is a local move. For the wider arrival list, see moving to Halifax.

Frequently asked questions

Which area is best?

None is best for everyone. Flats in the centre, family houses in Skircoat and valley towns such as Sowerby Bridge suit different households.

Do the hills affect everyday life?

Yes. Walks back from town are climbs. Removal vans feel that on day one. You will feel it with shopping afterwards.
