Latest house prices for Hazlerigg, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Hazlerigg sits on the northern edge of Newcastle, where the city’s suburbs finally give way to the open fields of SE Northumberland. It’s a former mining village, once centered around the Hazlerigg Colliery which closed in the 1960s, and that history is still visible in the layout of the older terraced streets. Today, it’s a quiet spot defined largely by its proximity to the Havannah and Three Hills Nature Reserve; the reserve occupies the site of the old pit heaps and provides a large expanse of woodland and lakeside paths right on the doorstep. Geographically, it’s well-placed for getting around, situated just a few minutes’ drive from the A1 and the airport, and within easy reach of the metro links at Kingston Park. While it feels self-contained and semi-rural, you’re only about five miles from the city centre, making it a practical base for those who work in town but prefer being within walking distance of the green belt.
