Living so near Newcastle has many benefits
Renowned for its fantastic nightlife, with a host of live music, bars and nightclubs, Newcastle's buzzing cosmopolitan atmosphere complements its rich collections of museums and art galleries. St James' Park football ground is another popular tourist destination, visited by thousands of people every year from around the globe.
Gosforth's handy location means that you can easily slip away from the buzz of urban life. Hadrian's Wall and surrounding stunning countryside can be reached easily with a short car journey, the iconic Angel of the North is just across the river in Gateshead, and the coast isn't far either – Tynemouth, just 12 miles away, is a surfer's heaven and perfect for young families.
Along with Jesmond to the south, Gosforth is a popular residential area and, with its mix of urban and part-rural, means there's a wide range of styles; from farm houses and barn conversions to an abundance of stylish new build homes in the area known as Newcastle Great Park.
Shopping
Gosforth has a vibrant high street offering a variety of shops including M&S Food, Sainsbury's and ASDA as well as a huge range of other chain and independent stores. The town also has an indoor shopping centre.
Of course for even more choice, simply head into Newcastle and to Eldon Square or jump in the car and drive a short 8-mile distance to the Metrocente in Gateshead.
