The new homes from Yuill in Longbenton look ideal for a family but we don't know the area. I've read the few postings on Longbenton on this site but any thoughts? Schools aren't an issue (at the moment). I've heard that this area was not one of the safer parts of Newcastle in the past but I would appreciate some other thoughts on that.

Thanks for all the feedback. We're now considering Central Grange (which I haven't really had a good look around yet)as we will both be working in the nearby area. Does anyone live here? What is it like? Any useful advice for a new family to the area?

We are hoping to move to Gosforth. Looking for a family home in NE3, but price wise, we really want to keep it below 220,000. Any particular areas to recommend (or not)? What is the area/roads around Kenton Road like? A number of houses seem to have been on the market a while but no price drops!
