Why Live in Sandyford?
Sandyford is the hidden gem of Newcastle's student areas. Tucked between the bustling City Centre and trendy Jesmond, it offers incredible convenience. You can walk to either university in minutes, yet it maintains a quieter, more residential feel than its neighbours. It's the ideal spot for those who want to be close to everything without living in the thick of it.
- Unbeatable location - walk to lectures, the library, and city nightlife.
- Quieter than Jesmond and the City Centre, offering a better study environment.
- Home to some fantastic independent cafes and eateries.
- You get the benefits of Jesmond's amenities without the premium price tag.
Travel & Commute
Walking is the main mode of transport here. You're a 10-minute stroll from both universities and the main shopping streets. Jesmond Metro is also just a short walk away.
Food, Drink & Social
While quieter, Sandyford has its own gems, like the Bluebird Cafe and various takeaways. Plus, you're only a 5-minute walk from the bars of Jesmond or the clubs of the city.
Accommodation Style
A mix of Tyneside flats and larger terraced houses, similar to Heaton and Jesmond but often with slightly smaller room sizes.
