Seacroft has a variety of styles of architecture.  The area surrounding the green has many old buildings, dating back to the 18th century and before.  The estate also shows a variety of different styles employed by [[Leeds City Council]] for the duration of the estate's construction.  The earlier houses dating back to the 1950s are red brick traditional terraces and semis.  In the late 1960s and 1970s [[prefabricated housing]] was built towards the South West of the estate.  The build quality of these houses was notably poor and many have now been demolished to be replaced with modern housing .  The older council houses were generally built to a higher quality and are still in good condition.  The [[Brutalism|brutalist]] Seacroft Civic Centre stood until its demolition in 1999, when it was replaced by the Seacroft Green Shopping Centre, which is of a fairly standard design for a large supermarket and purpose-built shops.  There are also many high-rise blocks of flats around the estate, mainly near the Shopping Centre, towards the bottom of South Parkway and Beechwood Avenue, around the Ramshead area and in the Bogart Hill area. Starting in 2018, many new houses are being built on the eastern end of South Parkway.
