The city centre is car free

This may sound like it would be hard to get around, but the truth is that it is actually easy to get to and around the city centre. The plus point of it being car-free is that the centre is cleaner, less polluted and less noisy, which means that it is the ideal place to spend some time. 

It isn’t the biggest city in the UK

When you move to a city it can often feel a little overwhelming. The thing about York is that whilst it is a bustling and busy city, the population only hovers around the 150,000 mark, which means that it doesn’t ever feel that you are small fish in a big pond! Of those 150, 000 or so people, the majority are also friendly and welcoming too. 

There is plenty to see

Of course, when you live in a city, you are going to quickly exhaust all the tourist attractions that you might want to see. The same is true in York, of course, but there is always something going on somewhere in the city. Be it at the Viking Centre, the National Railway Museum or perhaps the York Dungeon. You should also never discount all the amazing shopping opportunities too,  as there are always a few bargains to be found in York. 

The food in York is great

Another thing that you are going to do from time to time if you live in a city, is eat out with friends or family. York is well known or having an amazing array of food and drink on offer to locals, visitors and those new to the area. Not only will you find any type of cuisine that you could be searching for, but another great thing about York is that there are also 365 pubs in the city, which means that you will always find somewhere to have a drink! 

There is plenty of work

One thing that you are going to want when you move is to know that there are jobs going there. York has one of the lowest levels of unemployment in the UK, which means that you have a very good chance of being able to secure work. Some of the bigger employers are public sector in York, however, you can also find plenty of career opportunities thanks to the never-ending tourists that the city seems to attract. 

As you can see, York is a great place to live, a great place to work and a great place to raise a family. If you are thinking about moving to the North of England and want to find the ideal option, then why not take a look and see if York could be just the place that you are searching for?
