Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Newcastle upon Tyne

The area itself and the neighbours are lovely. We are all heartbroken that we will have to move out of the street.

Not a very nice area, my bike was stolen within the first two months of moving in because letslivehere failed to fix the external gate for two weeks. Then didn't provide any compensation.

It has plusses and minuses. The plusses are the interesting range of bars and cafes and eateries, also transport links are good. The minuses are the bad behaviour of many of the students and young people relating to parties, noise and general lack of respect for the area. This is not helped by the local council's inability to collect refuse and keep the area tidy, resulting in a grotty, down at heel appearance.

The area of Gosforth is so lovely, with a little butchers and greengrocers at end of road if you are ever free during their opening hours. High street 15 minutes walk away with amazing pub (the Brandling Arms) and local shops. Free parking through most of Gosforth and the Town Moors 20 minutes away.

The street is nice, close to Tesco and just off Osborne road so close to bars and restaurants. West Jesmond metro station is a 5 minute walk away. The street is quiet, but if you have the downstairs bedroom you can hear absolutely everything being said/ played on the TV/ parties at night from the living room in the next door house.

Amazing neighbourhood, we moved in the end just across the road as we didn't want to leave the street. In a much better managed property now.

The only positive experience of the tenancy was the handy location of the house and the local amenities.

Heaton is a great area, and the house is on a good street. However, it isn't worth going with Abode Living if you can avoid it - there are plenty of other places to rent around Heaton, so keep looking elsewhere.

Lots of bars and Shops. Close to the metro. Near to university (both Newcastle and Northumbria)

Heaton is the typical student and young professional suburb. Plenty of take-aways and good ammenities on Chillingham Road and its near to Asda, Morrisons and Sainsburys. Transport is good, right next to Chillingham Road metro, or the bus #1 goes down Second Avenue into town.
