Earswick, often called New Earswick, is a small garden‑suburb on the northern edge of York, created in the early 20th century as a planned model village by social reformer Joseph Rowntree. It retains a village feel with early‑20th‑century housing, tree‑lined streets and a clear ethos of community provision that reflects its philanthropic origins.
Set beside the River Foss and close to Huntington, the area is primarily residential with local shops, a community centre and housing managed through Rowntree‑linked trusts; residents benefit from easy access to York while enjoying nearby green spaces, walking routes and a sense of local heritage.
