It’s easy to think of Newcastle as the industrial heartland of the North East. But Newcastle is also a modern metropolis that offers contemporary culture and modern state-of-the-art architecture. Whether you live in the heart of the Toon, over in rival city Sunderland or a pleasant County Durham town such as Barnard Castle, Newcastle is multi-cultural and charming. It boasts a diverse array of museums and galleries to complement the various shops, restaurants, music venues and sporting arenas. It also offers great access to the coast and a whole host of inland beauty spots. Here we dive into Newcastle’s latest house prices that make the city a brilliant place to live.
