Strung along the ridge between Stoke and Newcastle, Hartshill is dominated by the Royal Stoke University Hospital — one of the region's biggest employers — and the housing market moves to its rhythm.
Doctors, nurses and university staff keep demand for the area's Victorian terraces and villas constant, which makes Hartshill one of the most reliable letting markets in the city and a steady performer for sellers.
Living there
Princes Road and the avenues off it are the heart of it: bay-fronted terraces, a village-ish parade of shops, and Hartshill Park's woods and pools hidden behind. You can walk to the hospital, cycle to the university and be in Newcastle town centre in five minutes.
