Henleaze is a very popular northern suburb. The predominantly Edwardian, 1930s and post-war semis give it a suburban feel, but its also cosmopolitan with a busy local high street.
Like its neighbours Westbury-on-Trym, Bishopston and Redland, Henleaze is an affluent area and property is expensive. There's a good variety of housing, including post-war semis, large detached houses and flats.
The city centre is walkable at about two miles away. There are regular buses to Westbury-on-Trym village, Whiteladies Road and Gloucester Road. The nearby Falcondale Road (A4018) takes you to the M5, passing Cribbs Causeway.
