Found that thread hilarious! If thousands and thousands of people live in a town, with people moving in in droves, there must be plenty positives there. Otherwise why would it be so popular?(Never been there tho).

Gateshead's also growing I believe, so let's hear what people like about it. I have relatives there, they looove it. Been there for Simchos a couple of times, it's so friendly, I found that it's a slower paced and relaxed lifestyle.

Would love to hear from those who live there!

From what I hear, it's moved on, but still way behind the rest of the world Gashmius-wise. I have nephews in Yeshiva there, and other relatives and they seem so happy there. I thinks there's very little living up to the Cohen's etc.

Yes! My relative said she paid the equivalent of $200K for a 4 bedroom house, or maybe 5 b/r, not sure exactly.

I've been here about 6 months. Def slower paced lifestyle and veeery little in terms of homegrown gashmius - though the most incredible new bakery has just opened up with high end pastries that are delicious! A lot of the brands/luxury items are brought in from London and Manchester.

Affordable housing is massive!!! BH we are living in our own HOUSE, which cost less than the value of the 2 bedroom flat we were renting Surprised

Things are close by so there's no major need for a car.

The community is set up in a way that they are there to help you - whether it's cost-price simchos (weddings, brissim, shalom zachar etc), the housing list (to prevent housing prices from sky-rocketing), free birthing classes/labour support/postpartum baby-watching so Mummy can sleep etc etc. The kehilla wants every family to be happy!

I'm also thrilled with the schools my children are in BH.
