NE1 1SW is a lively urban neighbourhood on Westgate Road, 0.8km from Leazes, The in Newcastle upon Tyne. Administratively it sits within Monument ward and the Newcastle upon Tyne Central constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — public administration and security with mainly white workforces. With an average age of just 24, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 82% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime rates are high (381 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures.

Census 2021 statistics for NE1 1SW are sourced from Output Area E00175553 (shared with 137 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
