What do we make of the south bank development plans??

I'm hoping to buy a house in the later part of the year and starting to wonder if this will make Beeston/Hunslet a sensible place to buy as a good starter home for a single bloke, with opportunity to rent later and long term have good potential as an investment for when HS2 arrives and the south Bank becomes a more attractive area. Maybe the surrounding areas will get a bit of a lift?

Also excited to see this area develop to offer more places to socialise and new businesses to come to the city.

I don't think Beeston will ever be a nice place to live. Holbeck has had a fair bit of money plouged into it and it's slowly improving. What's wrong with where you live now? Aside from the potholes!
Renting at the moment! I do actually like it round here, so somewhere within 5 mins of the train station and/or bus route would be ideal.

The Mrs rents a flat just up the road from the greenhouse flats in beeston. Having driven and walked and round the area it's all granny flats. Not particularly great, and I can't see the area getting a lift any time soon either.

Maybe Hunslet needs more investigation.
