Durham Flats
Durham apartments and Durham flats come in a variety of shapes and sizes and in different parts of the city and county. However, most Durham apartments are in Durham City itself, so if you are looking for a Durham apartment to buy, then it is probably best to start off in the city.
The most expensive Durham apartments tend to be near the River Wear, some with views of Durham Castle and Durham Cathedral. However, some of those Durham apartments can be quite noisy and others do not have parking. Durham apartments with parking are however available very close to the city centre. Highgate apartments in Durham have parking, are very popular and tend to be more affordable t han those with river views. St Leonards (Boste Crescent and Old Dryburn Way) is another development of Durham apartments with parking which is very near Durham Station as well as the City Centre.
Durham flats are also available around the outskirts of the city, in areas such as Belmont (eg. Minster Court) and Pity Me. Newton Hall flats are very popular and as the most common type of Durham flat, tend to represent very good value. The Roundhaven development of Durham apartments is popular because it has some of the best size flats in Durham and excellent rural views.
Because most Durham apartments are modern, their running costs are low. This especially applies to the cost of heating a typical Durham apartment, because they are very well insulated. The management charges on Durham flats also tend to be reasonable.
A good thing about buying a Durham apartment is that it will always be easy to rent it out if you move. The presence of the university means that there is a steady demand for good quality apartments in Durham, especially if vacant in the summer. Many Durham flats are let to lecturers and postgraduates.
Durham apartments outside the city are less common but still possible to find. County Durham flats can be found in Chester-le-Street and Bishop Auckland while there are also flats in Durham villages, some of them modern in style and construction. Popular developments of Chester-le-Street apartments include Sandringham Court and Highfield Rise.
Overall, the market for apartments in Durham is a sound one. Their excellent value combined with the tendency towards one and two person households mean that a Durham flat should prove a wise purchase in the long term.
