Answer 1

For 3-400 per month you wont get a flat in the city centre unless you are sharing, I would reccomend areas in gateshead which is just over the famous tyne bridge. areas include Bensham, deckham, teams, or if you want to be on the same side of the water as city centre try heaton, byker, walker.

Answer 2

Some places to try in Newcastle to live:

Try Sandyford first very close tp city centre. Then maybe Heaton and also Jesmond (rather nice and possibly more expensive).

Just go to Rightmove.co.uk and look for rented accomodation then type some of those places in.

Sandyford is close and its a decent area.

Answer 3

You could try sandyford, heaton, jesmond, gosforth, which are usually at the higher end of the market.  Best thing to do is if you see a flat go and have a look at the area as there are good and bad points to every area but in the east end there is Byker, Walker and even Wallsend, all ok and probably the cheapest places you could get, lots of regen work in Walker with new houses.  May be easier to live on a metro line though as buses are usually hit and miss.

Answer 4

the city centre is expensive but there are metro trains at just about all the local towns and it much cheaper

Answer 5

Try using the classified search on Findzer.  It searches many of the classifieds sites like kijiji, yahoo.classifieds, craigslist, ect.
