Living in Haxby

A large community north of York with a busy local centre, schools, shops and extensive established neighbourhoods.

Haxby is a large community north of York within the City of York council area, closely connected with Wigginton and the wider urban edge.

A busy local centre, older village streets and extensive residential neighbourhoods give Haxby more of a small-town feel than a rural hamlet.

Haxby has the scale and amenities of a small town while preserving traces of its historic village origins. The older centre remains a focal point within a much larger pattern of residential streets.

Together with nearby Wigginton, it forms one of the principal communities north of York. Green edges, local open spaces and routes towards the Foss help balance the village's busy everyday centre.
