Why Live in Gosforth?
Gosforth is a popular, affluent suburb of Newcastle. While further out, it has its own busy high street with M&S, Sainsbury's, and numerous cafes and bars. It feels like its own town but is only a 10-minute Metro ride from the city centre. It's a great choice for mature students or those wanting a cleaner, quieter environment.
- A safe, clean, and upmarket environment.
- Excellent amenities on Gosforth High Street means you don't always need to go into town.
- Superb transport links with three Metro stations (South Gosforth, Regent Centre, Wansbeck Road).
- Close to the open green space of the Town Moor.
Travel & Commute
The Metro is the key here, providing a fast and direct link to Haymarket (for the universities) and the rest of the city.
Food, Drink & Social
A good selection of pubs, bars, and restaurants on the High Street, catering to a slightly older, more professional crowd than student-focused areas.
Accommodation Style
A wide range of housing, from flats to large semi-detached houses. Student properties are less common but offer high quality.
