There isn't enough on-the-ground detail here to paint The Intake honestly — no figures on its crime, schools, transport, house prices or green space have come through, so anything specific I told you about daily life there would be guesswork rather than knowledge.
What I can say is where it sits in the wider county context: North Yorkshire, the parent authority, has a median house price of £262,500, itself a shade below the England-wide median of £281,000, so this is a part of the country that reads as broadly affordable rather than expensive by national standards. Beyond that single anchor point, though, I'd be inventing character rather than describing it, and that's not a fair way to help you decide whether to live there.
