Home to the Angel of the North, the Millennium Bridge and the wealthiest club in the Premier League, Newcastle is one of the most iconic cities in the UK.

The biggest city in the North East, and arguably its crown jewel, is a great place to call home. The city, fondly known as The Toon by locals, has much to offer those who visit, live or work there. Additionally, it is frequently named as one of the friendliest cities to live in.

The price of properties in Newcastle are affordable but are on the rise. According to Zoopla, prices in 2021 ended the year with an average value of £224,000 - a 4.09% increase over the last 12 months.

On average, semi-detached properties sell for £211,00, whilst terraced properties sell for £190,000, and flats fetch an average of £140,000. Renting costs vary based on location, but the average price in the city is around £400-£600 per month, according to Nestpick.

Located on the River Tyne, Newcastle was once dependent on its port and shipbuilding but has gradually shifted over the years to have a much more diverse appeal. With plenty of open green spaces and a slightly lower cost of living, more people are heading to the North-East in search of their next home.

The city is almost bursting at the seams with things to do. With so much on offer, you aren't likely to be bored in a hurry. But, if you're stuck, why not try the following:

Something to do day or night

Famed for things including nightlife, Greggs and Ant and Dec, Newcastle has much to offer tourists and residents alike. Have you paid a visit to the Quayside to take in the melting pot of arts, music and culture?
