Homes
From carefully restored Victorian terraces to contemporary city centre apartments to semirural locations, the region offers a wealth of choice and house prices in North East England remain some of the best in the country, meaning your money goes a lot further.
In the Bensham and Saltwell area, near to Gateshead's award-winning Saltwell Park, period properties are being given a new lease of life. With new family homes to come, this will
ensure this is an attractive area for families and couples alike.
If you prefer older properties, suburbs such as Jesmond, Gosforth and Low Fell, which combine proximity to the centre with leafy avenues and excellent amenities, are ever popular.
Families seeking safe estates with plenty of outdoor space for young children could not go far wrong in Great Park, High Heaton, Benton and Kingston Park.
Quayside apartments offer fabulous views with the city's bars, restaurants, shops and galleries right on your doorstep.
At the top end of the market, the choice is once again whether you'd prefer city centre living or space to relax. Again, Jesmond and Gosforth offer some extremely beautiful character properties and strike a balance between city living and peace and quiet, while if you'd rather be further out of town, the areas of Darras Hall, Ponteland, Whickham and Rowlands Gill provide executive homes in semi-rural locations.
Slightly further out, the coastal areas of Tynemouth and Monkseaton to the east are popular with families, as is Hexham and its nearby villages to the west. To the north of the city, Morpeth is an attractive market town offering a more rural lifestyle but with local amenities close by. South of the river towards South Shields, the suburb of East Boldon offers attractive family homes with the city centre served by the nearby Metro route. To the South of NewcastleGateshead is the City of Durham and the surrounding areas which offer a mix of beautiful character homes and family estates.
