Woodend is a small residential neighbourhood within the metropolitan district of Leeds, in West Yorkshire. It sits on the city's suburban fringe and combines older terraced housing, post‑war council developments and pockets of green space, with local shops and reasonable public transport links into the city centre.
Having grown up alongside Leeds's 19th‑ and 20th‑century expansion, the area today is largely a commuter community with a modest, community‑oriented feel - local pubs, community centres and small businesses serve everyday needs, while larger services are found in neighbouring districts. Its quiet streets and parks make it a practical, quietly rooted part of the city's social fabric.
