Benton Newcastle House Move

[poppysallygeorge]

Hello

My husband and I have looked at a house in The Grove in Benton Newcastle.
It is near the metro which is great for us. Please can I have your views on this area.
We have no children of school age.

thanks in advance,

Diane

Yes, it's a lovely area. A couple restaurants and some shops over the fly over in Forest Hall. Very handy for the town and only about twenty minutes to the coast too.

Longbenton is not a desirable area and the secondary school is there but as you don't need it, that's a big bonus.

On any 'is this a good area' thread people are going to tell you to move to the top three areas of Jesmond, Gosforth and Tynemouth which are the best places to live but hugely more expensive too.

Thanks for your update, my concern is Long Benton as to how close we are.

May be an unnecessary worry.

Thanks
Diane

Honestly, it's not that close at all and that part of Benton is beautiful and well established. That estate is one that you would only pass through if you were going to it if you see what I mean.

Also, Longbenton isn't that bad at all. Its deprived rather than dangerous.

That is reassuring about Long Benton.

Thanks
Diane
