Osbaldwick is now effectively a suburb of York, about {{convert|2|mi|km}} east of the city. The village proper lies mostly along one street called Osbaldwick Village. Newer housing surrounds this and Osbaldwick is now effectively bounded on three sides by the [[A1079 road|A1079]] to the south, the [[A64 road|A64]] that forms part of York's [[Ring Road]]) to the east and by green-belt land to the north. To the west, newer housing merges into the [[Tang Hall]] district.

Light industrial/trading estates exist to the east of the village heading towards [[Murton, York|Murton]]) and along Osbaldwick Link Road which links it to the [[A1079 road|A1079]]. A new (2006) housing development built in 2006, known as Murton Gardens, was built by Wimpey Homes on the link road on the site of a farm building and surrounding fields. A development known as [[Derwenthorpe]] was granted planning permission on 10 May 2007 for the green-belt land north of the village. Some farmland also exists between Osbaldwick and Murton.

Osbaldwick Beck runs through the village and is part of the tributary system of the [[River Foss]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Tang Hall Bk/Old Foss Bk catch, trib of River Foss {{!}} Catchment Data Explorer {{!}} Catchment Data Explorer |url=https://environment.data.gov.uk/catchment-planning/WaterBody/GB104027063500 |website=environment.data.gov.uk |access-date=21 August 2024}}</ref>
