If you’re a person of culture, then Nottingham should be high up on your list of places to move to.
With a thriving food and drink scene, fantastic live music venues and so many fascinating historic sites, it’s fair to say that Nottingham is a cultural melting pot.
Over the years, a few of the city’s neighbourhoods have earned a reputation for being trendy places to live.
The Lace Market, for instance, is surrounded by great bars and restaurants in the heart of the city.
But as we head into 2025, which parts of Nottingham are really the trendiest to live in?
Here at Nottingham World we’ve done some digging and come up with a list of what we think are the trendiest parts of the city this year.
Whether you’re a young couple looking to buy your first home or are recently retired and looking for somewhere with peace and quiet, we’re sure you’ll find somewhere you like.

2. The Lace Market
The Lace Market is arguably the coolest part of Nottingham. If you live here, then there's a good chance that you're a bit of a culture vulture. With independents restaurants, cafes and bars, the Lace Market certainly has similarities to the vibrant streets of Brooklyn. | John Sutton Photo: John Sutton
3. Woodthorpe
If you're looking for somewhere to escape the hustle and bustle of the city centre, but without moving too far away, Woodthorpe is a great shout. The relaxed vibe of the area, particularly at the luscious Woodthorpe Grange Park, makes this neighbourhood a cool place to live. Residents are also close to Arnold town centre, where this always something going on. | JThomas Photo: JThomas
4. The Park Estate
We all knew that the Park Estate was going to be on this list, but it's worth remembering why it's such a cool place to live. Nestled to the west of Nottingham Castle, living in the Park Estate is like stepping back in time. With gas-powered street lights and leafy streets, it's easy to forget that the neighbourhood is located in a city centre. There are so many great restaurants and cafes located just a short walk from the Park Estate, so you won't need to worry about cooking every night! | Steve Cadman Photo: Steve Cadman
