It is home to a wide range of community and creative organisations including the Northern School of Contemporary Dance, the chapletown house choir, the Host Media centre, and Leeds West Indian Centre (now famous for its club nights, particularly the monthly SubDub). The area was originally constructed as a wealthy suburb in the nineteenth-century, and many large terraces and villas from the period remain, though a large proportion have fallen into disuse or are divided up into smaller, low-rent flats. However the area remains leafy and architecturally notable.
