A flavour of the kind of high quality homes that will be developed in the future can be seen in Birtley and Saltwell.
Developed by the Gateshead Regeneration Partnership, the Sycamores in Birtley and the Trilogy development in Saltwell have already proved a great success with local buyers.
Now another site in Birtley - the Aspens - is being developed, creating 147 stylish new homes.
This includes eight homes available for Shared Ownership, which helps people get on the first rung of the housing ladder.
You can see for yourself by visiting the two show homes. Sales Director Tracy Iles said: "The Aspens offers an impeccable collection of contemporary two, three and four bedroomed homes. They are already selling quickly and one visit to our beautiful new show homes will be enough to see why."
Another bonus for the area is the brand new Ravensworth Primary School, right next to the Aspens. The two form entry school will be ready for the 2017/18 school years.
To find out more about the types and styles of homes available, visit The Aspens (DH3 1RY) or Trilogy I (NE8 4QE), where the sales office are
open Thursday to Monday between 10am and 5pm.
