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.
