Lol, that's cool.
If you were to choose between Bingley or Ilkley, where would you prefer to live?

Hi miaski,

We all have different ideas, needs and wants when considering why to choose a specific place to live.
Where will your workplace be? Commute aspects?
Are you interested in schools?
How about medical services? Dentists
Internet? Cell Phone Coverage ?
Crime?
Local facilities?
etc.

What does your list of needs and wants look like?

We have many members here living in that area who can provide very specific local info to really help you.

Yes, first of all I need to live near good schools. Is Ilkley Grammar School a good one? Also, it should be a place where it is easy to find work, zero crime rate, peaceful and tidy surroundings and most of all must be near a big city like Leeds. I was in this forum before, been told about Skipton, unfortunately there is no available house for rent at this moment. Trying Bingley or Ilkley, dunno which among these two is better. Thank you.

Ilkley over Bingley no contest!

Agree !

Ilkley is much nicer IMO...and should have all the facilities you require.

(About 20 mins drive into Leeds).

So it 'ud seem, ... despite being "familiar" with the famed - and popular - Yorkshire ditty, it's only in [comparatively] recent times that I've come to realise its proper title is actually "On Ilkley Mo~or Bhat'at"!

Up until then, it had sounded to me, more like - "On Ilkley Moo~or by Tut!

... tut, tut!

[imagine]

Ilkley is the best place though I think more expensive.

There are some nice places close to Bingley, such as Eldwick,

I once lived and worked in Bingley and surrounding areas, it was ok then but that's 40 years ago

Unless you can find a nice part of Bingley or close, go for Ilkley
