South Heaton is an area dominated by private renting and terraces. It has proved very popular with students and couples under 30 as an affordable place to live. Much of the housing that still makes up South Heaton was built at the height of Newcastle’s economic power between 1880 and 1910. These are mostly Tyneside flats built as terraces, where originally one of each pair of doors led to an upstairs flat while the other led into the ground-floor flat. Most had two or three main rooms and a scullery. The upper flats typically had an enclosed rear staircase leading to the yard. Some of these have been converted to form a terraced house.
