About Walkergate
Walkergate's housing is genuinely affordable. Semi-detached homes go for £221,650 and terraces for £148,300 — well below what you'd pay elsewhere in the UK. You get space without breaking the bank.
Two Metro stations mean Newcastle city centre and the coast are easy to reach. Within the neighbourhood itself, you've got a hospital, a GP practice, three sports centres and three supermarkets. Everything you need is on your doorstep.
Schools here are solid. There are Good-rated primary schools locally, plus an Outstanding special school. Living costs run below the national average too, especially transport — the Metro network keeps those bills down.
Crime's been dropping year on year. Combine that with low council tax and low house prices, and you've got a neighbourhood that makes practical sense. You get good transport links and everyday amenities without the premium price tag.
