W h e r e t o L i v e The most popular locations in Newcastle are around
the well-established areas of Town Moor, Jesmond and Gosforth and the new
developments on the Quayside. The areas to be avoided include the Westend,
Byker, Benwell and the Eastend. In the centre of the city, there are modern apartments on
the fashionable and young Quayside. If you are keen to live right in
the city centre and amongst the thick of Newcastle’s nightlife definitely
have a look around here. However, the real beauty of living in Newcastle is that
there are plenty of affordable living areas on the edge of the city centre
and within walking distance of most of the places you’re likely to want to
get to. Town Moor lies on the northern edge of the city centre. The
parkland provides acres of green space in the heart of the city. Backing onto Town Moor from different angles are
Jesmond and Gosforth. Both are very popular, lively areas with
high percentages of student inhabitants. Jesmond has a lot of fashionable
bars, normally packed full of young professionals and students. Both areas
are within walking distance of the city centre and well linked by the Metro,
so they are both really good places to live. W h a t t o P a y Rental prices are fairly
reasonable and you can expect to be able to afford a nicer home than the average student
pad. Here is an indication of the average prices you will pay in the areas
mentioned: Prices are per month. H o w t o R e n t When you start looking for a house
