Student accommodation in Newcastle: campuses, houses and rent
Newcastle's two universities sit side by side in the city centre: Newcastle University off Queen Victoria Road and Northumbria's City Campus a few minutes away. Most private student properties we list are within a mile of both. Rooms start at around £105 a week, and shared houses in Jesmond and Heaton are the other big choice.
What is the best student accommodation for Newcastle University?
Newcastle University's main campus sits just north of the city centre, with the Helix science quarter to the west. Read about the streets closest to campus, Leazes Park, the Helix, Jesmond, city centre living and quieter rooms for postgraduates.
Close to the main campus
Newcastle University's main campus sits off Queen Victoria Road, NE1 7RU, beside Haymarket Metro. The best base for most courses is within ten minutes on foot, either in the city centre or the streets just north. Check which building runs your course before you choose.
Leazes Park and Strawberry Place
Strawberry Place and the streets around Leazes Park sit between the campus and St James' Park, the football ground. Several newer student blocks stand here, a few minutes from lectures and the shops. Expect crowds and noise on match days, so find out if your window looks onto the stadium.
Studying at the Helix
The Helix, west of the main campus, is home to the Urban Sciences Building, where Newcastle University teaches computing and data science. From Pitt Street or Westgate Road it is only a few minutes on foot. If your course is based here, it beats living on the north side of campus.
Jesmond, a short walk north
Jesmond, just north of the university, is a classic second year area of terraced houses, cafes and Osborne Road bars. It sits a 15 to 20 minute walk from campus, with West Jesmond and Jesmond Metro stations close by. Shared houses here are let by private landlords, so check the bills.
City centre rooms near Haymarket
More of our Newcastle properties sit in the city centre than anywhere else, many within a few minutes of Haymarket and Northumberland Street. Living centrally means both universities, the station and the shops are on foot. Older conversions here usually undercut the newest blocks with gyms.
Quieter rooms for postgraduates
Postgraduates often want a studio, a quieter floor and a contract that runs into the summer. Oxford House is one Newcastle property that says it suits both undergraduates and postgraduates, with studios of around 17 to 27 square metres. A 51 week tenancy covers dissertation months without a move.
Is a Newcastle student house cheaper than a managed block?
Student houses Newcastle is one of the city's biggest accommodation searches. Below, we weigh houses against purpose built blocks, and look at Jesmond, Heaton, Sandyford, Fenham and Shieldfield.
Is a shared house really cheaper?
Not always. A room in a Newcastle shared house can cost less per week, but you usually pay gas, electricity and broadband on top. Purpose built properties bundle furniture and bills into one weekly price. Add realistic bills to a house rent before you decide which is cheaper.
Shared houses in Heaton
Heaton, east of Jesmond, has rows of Tyneside flats and terraced houses that many students share from second year. Rents are often lower than in Jesmond, and Chillingham Road has shops and takeaways. The walk to campus is longer, so check the bus or Metro from your street.
How Tyneside flats work
Many older Newcastle homes are Tyneside flats: two separate flats in one terrace, one upstairs and one downstairs, each with its own front door. They suit groups of three to five friends. Ask which floor you are viewing, as upstairs and downstairs flats can differ a lot in layout.
Sandyford, between Jesmond and town
Sandyford sits between Jesmond and the city centre, close to both universities on foot. It mixes older houses with a few purpose built student blocks, so you can find either type here. It is a good compromise if you want house life without a long walk to lectures.
Fenham for lower rents
Fenham, about a mile and a half west of the centre, is quieter and often cheaper than the areas next to campus. St Mary's there has offered some of the lowest rents on our Newcastle pages, including rooms with a shared bathroom. Budget for buses into town each day.
Purpose built blocks in Shieldfield
Shieldfield, in NE2 just east of the centre, holds one of the biggest clusters of purpose built student properties we list, under a mile from both universities. Rooms here come furnished with bills included, which keeps first year simple. It sits close to Northumbria's City Campus too.
Where should Northumbria University students live?
Northumbria splits its teaching between City Campus, in the centre, and Coach Lane in Benton, three miles east. This tab covers both sites, the Ouseburn, the Metro and buses, and shorter contracts for placement students.
Northumbria's buildings in town
Northumbria University's City Campus sits in the city centre, and the university names Haymarket as its nearest Metro station. Many private properties quote a walk of under ten minutes to its buildings. Treat those times as a guide and walk the route yourself if you can.
Streets closest to City Campus
Albert Street, Tower Street and the roads around Northumberland Road sit right beside City Campus and the business and law buildings. Rooms here put lectures, Haymarket Metro and Eldon Square within a few minutes. Expect city centre prices and some late night noise from nearby bars.
Living in the Ouseburn valley
The Ouseburn valley, east of the centre, is Newcastle's creative quarter, with music venues, studios and pubs along the burn. Several student properties sit on its edge around Stepney Bank, a short walk from Northumbria's City Campus. It suits students who want character over the newest blocks.
Health courses out in Benton
Northumbria's Coach Lane campus lies three miles east of the centre in Benton and hosts health, education and community courses. Students based there full time can still live centrally, but should time the daily journey first. Placement students may prefer a room nearer Benton itself, out on the campus side of the city.
Getting to Coach Lane
The Number 1 bus runs between the city centre and Coach Lane every 8 to 10 minutes and is free with a university pass, Northumbria says. Four Lane Ends Metro is also close to the campus. Build the trip into your timetable, especially for early placements.
Short contracts for placement students
Some Newcastle properties near Northumbria let rooms for a single term or from January to July, which suits students on placement for part of the year. Albert Place is one that has offered both a 13 week autumn term and a 27 week spring contract. Ask early, as these rooms go quickly.
