The area has a slightly denser layout of streets than some neighbouring estates, which gives it a lively neighbourhood feel while still offering quiet residential roads.

Brunton Park is well placed for access to several well-regarded schools in Gosforth, which continues to attract families to the area.
One of the distinctive features of Brunton Park is its own small cluster of local amenities within the estate. These include St Aidan’s Church, a local doctor’s surgery and a small parade of shops that serve the surrounding neighbourhood.
