Is Newcastle still affordable?
I relocated for work and With a population of 12,945, Newcastle is a small town. Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. Homes are going for about $1,128,200 on average. Median household income is $162,646, which feels pretty solid for the area. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Sprawl everywhere
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Not enough green space

Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
