Roxburgh Place is located in Newcastle upon Tyne. Crime is a significant concern, with 307 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Humphrey & Wilson (hairdresser, 66m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Heaton Road-Cardigan Terrace) is 119m away.

There are 6 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 52m away.
