New Scarborough is a neighbourhood within the city of Leeds, West Yorkshire. While the available detail on its immediate surroundings is limited, it sits within the broader urban fabric of Leeds, a city well connected by road and rail to the rest of northern England.

The Neighbourhood
New Scarborough takes its name from the seaside town of Scarborough on the North Yorkshire coast, a naming pattern found in several older Leeds districts where streets and localities were named after popular Victorian destinations. The neighbourhood is residential in character, with the houses and streets typical of the wider Leeds area. Its position within the city means residents have straightforward access to Leeds city centre’s shops, markets, and transport connections.
