Guide to Student Accommodation & Properties in Sandyford

Transport

Sandyford is one of the most conveniently located areas in Newcastle and you can easily get around on foot. It is within walking distance from City Centre, Jesmond, and Heaton and students at Northumbria University School of Design and City Campus East will appreciate this location the most with just a 15-20 minute walk to campus.
If you have a car, you can obtain an annual parking permit or a guest permit just by using your tenant agreement as proof of residency, but most points of interest are either within walking or cycling distance. There are plenty of bus routes as well, so you can get into the city centre in no time.

Things to do in Sandyford

Sandyford is mostly a student community, so there are plenty of fun ways to spend your time here. And, with lower rent and living costs, it’s also a great place to hang out on a budget. 

• Pubs & Bars: Sandyford excels at old, traditional style pubs such as The Bluebell, The Collingwood Arms or The Northumberland Hussar in nearby Heaton. Despite their vintage look, these pubs have been revamped and they are very popular among students.

• Cafes & Restaurants: Sandyford offers a nice combination of local and international cuisine. Starbeck Fish & Chips is a top choice for a typical British meal, but if you prefer something different, you can try Mascalzone or Harrissa Café, which serve tasty Italian and Mediterranean food and drinks.

• Food Shops: Nisa Local on Sandyford Road is a good destination for your daily shopping needs, there is a Tesco Express on Stoddart Street and a few other small convenience stores in the area. The closest large supermarket is Morrisons in Byker, a 15-20 minutes’ walk depending on where in Sandyford you start from.
