Student Accommodation in Jesmond

Student housing in Jesmond, Newcastle

Jesmond is Newcastle's best-known, most established student neighbourhood: just north of both universities, edged by the green space of Jesmond Dene, and covered by its own postcode, NE2. It's still where a large share of second and third years end up once halls are done. Search student housing in Jesmond on Housr and filter by weekly price, bedroom count, or bathroom size to see what's actually on the market, either as a list or plotted on the interactive map.

The roads students actually live on, Osborne Road, Holly Avenue, Brentwood Avenue, Acorn Road, sit a few minutes from each other and from the Metro stations that connect Jesmond to the rest of the city. Search interest in student accommodation Jesmond climbs early each year, and the streets closest to Osborne Road are usually first to go.

What's around Jesmond

Osborne Road does most of the heavy lifting. A Waitrose and a Tesco Express cover the weekly shop, alongside cafés, takeaways, and bars that don't need a bus ride to reach. Fat Hippo, a couple of streets over on St George's Terrace, is the go-to burger stop after a night out. The Holy Hobo, tucked down its own side street, does cocktails and a late kebab window for anyone not ready to call it a night.

Jesmond Dene is the other side of the area's appeal: a wooded valley along the Ouseburn with a waterfall, a free pets' corner, and enough footpaths to walk off a hangover without leaving the neighbourhood. Jesmond Pool & Gym, running since 1992, covers swimming and gym sessions for students who'd rather skip a city-centre chain.

Getting around

Jesmond has two Metro stations of its own, Jesmond and West Jesmond, both served by the Tyne and Wear Metro's Green and Yellow lines. From Jesmond station it's one stop to Haymarket and two to Monument, so getting into town rarely needs much planning. The Q3 bus also runs through Jesmond on its way to the city centre, the Quayside, and Ouseburn, useful for anyone living further from the Metro line.

Plenty of students skip the transport altogether. Most of central Jesmond is around a 25-minute walk from either university campus, closer to 10 to 15 minutes on a bike.

Universities near Jesmond

Jesmond sits within walking distance of both of Newcastle's universities. Newcastle University's campus and Northumbria University's Newcastle City Campus are both roughly 25 minutes on foot from central Jesmond, or a one-stop Metro ride to Haymarket followed by a short walk from there.
