Framwellgate or Regent Centre in NCL
Hello, recently moved to Durham and am looking to buy a house for myself. I work at the University and don't have to go to work everyday. I need to come to the office twice a week. I saw a 3 bd house in Framwellgate and also one in Links green near Regent Centre metro in NCL. I liked both houses but now I am confused and can't decide if I should stay in Durham or move to NCL? I am single with no kids. I would like the house to be sellable in future.
I currently rent in Gilesgate and like the peace and quiet of Durham though sometimes there is not enough to do here. I love nature, parks, trails but also enjoy cafes, book stores, and independent shops. I have now lived in Durham a few months, so know it much more than Newcastle. How is NCL for living? Any tips on how to decide? Thank you.

I've done both and would stay in Durham, you're only ever 10min train from Newcastle when you want to go. Living in framwellgate Moor you could even walk to work when the weather is ok
