Graemeb1783 0 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hello folks first time poster on your forum just looking for a bit of advice on your wonderful city. Basically to cut a long story short I am looking into relocating to Newcastle to be closer to my young son who moved there with his mum recently. I am going to be transferring my job to the borders area and commuting daily. So basically I am looking for info on decent affordable areas to live in the area of the airport for easy commuting onto the A696 or A1. I know this is a strange request on a football forum but any information would be very much appreciated. Thanks Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34422 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Kingston Park and Dinnington are both within the sort of area you would be looking at. I'm not sure on affordable cos it depends what you're looking for, but I'm sure there would be placed there that are. Fawdon is similarly handy and probably cheaper. Have a look at them on Google maps and see if they suit for transport access and then just have a look on some estate agent sites. Pattinson and Jan Forster are a couple of local estate agents or you've got your usual rightmove and that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graemeb1783 0 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Thanks for the quick reply. When I say affordable I'm looking for something 2/3 beds somewhere around 100-130k as it's just for me and wee man when he stays over. Those are two areas that I have looked at. Are there areas around there that would be best avoided particularly for a newcomer to the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait til tomorrow when some of the riff raff get on, they'll help you out. I don't think there's anywhere around where you're looking that's particularly rough though.

Rayvin 4964 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Fawdon sounds like a good shout to me - some new builds around there that should be reasonably cheap and also full of the usual young families/couple etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38739 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Wideopen/Seaton Burn might be worth a look, similar access to A1 and within your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26783 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Blyth? Cramlington? Killingworth? All within his budget I'd think, not too far from Newcastle and a starting point to drive further north for his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 All the best people live in Killingworth. Apart from when it was rumoured that Gary Glitter had been housed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedfernMag 0 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 If you're after somewhere a little exotic then a good choice would be Cambois (which should be pronounced in its original French form). A small island to the north of Blyth it has a range of attractions including a near-by nudist beach and surprisingly warm coastal water (possibly the warmest in the UK) due to a hot pipe that runs out to sea from the nearby power station. There have been sightings of unusual fish off the coast including hammer headed sharks, just close your eyes and you could be swimming off the Porquerolles.

trooper 940 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Cramlington's canny now there's a shopping centre, sports centre, cinema plenty for the young 'un. It's about 9 miles north of Newcastle easy access for the A1. It's about 3 or 4 miles from the coastal beaches of Blyth,Seaton Sluice,Whitley Bay & Tynemouth. I live in a council bungalow but there always seems to be a busy property market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
