With a great choice of different property types, Byker has something for everyone. There are smaller apartments suitable for single people or couples which are within walking distance of the City, universities and colleges, as well as spacious two, three and four bedroom family homes. We also have two sheltered housing schemes on the estate which have undergone major refurbishment including extensive safety modifications making them two of the best in the City.

Properties in Byker offer lots of outdoor space where you can sit outside to meet with your neighbours or let the kids out to play. The estate was designed and built to tie in with the landscape, so many properties have great views of the river and are south/south west facing so get lots of sunshine.

Byker has a very diverse community. It’s a community which has a rich ethnic mix, making it a special place to live. In 2018, we won the Academy of Urbanism “Great Neighbourhood” award in the UK and Ireland and in 2019 were voted 24th best landlord in the UK and Ireland by Housing 24.
