BARRACK ROAD, NE4 5AY House Prices & Local Information

NE4 5AY is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Barrack Road, 0.1km from New Mills in Newcastle upon Tyne. Administratively it sits within Arthur's Hill ward and the Newcastle upon Tyne Central constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, NE4 5AY is a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — major hospitals and public administration with diverse 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. 74% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 7% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 42 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: With prices averaging £83k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area.
