And companies such as Nissan have created tens of thousands of jobs in the North East. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientific research, chemical processing, printable electronics, distribution, and of course tourism, are all major employers in the North East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stunning countryside. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the Northumberland Coast to the North Pennines, Keider Forest and Park, to Durham Heritage Coast, and Hadrian Wall, to Whitley Bay, there are some beautiful places to spend your leisure time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>House Prices. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The North East of England has housing that caters to all budgets and has some of the cheapest properties to be found anywhere in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The people. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People from the North East are incredibly friendly and helpful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, complete strangers will even talk to you, something that you may find strange and a little unsettling if you come from London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the locals are rightfully incredibly proud of their heritage and culture and will welcome you with open arms if you make the effort to integrate into the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"The_Cons_of_Moving_to_North_East_England\">The Cons of Moving to North East England<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost of living. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is in the cons section because you will soon get used to the lower prices than you would normally expect to pay in many parts of the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wages generally may be lower, but the cost of living is too, and you may find that you have a disposable income at the end of each month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having to decide what amazing attraction, beautiful coastal town, which huge shopping centre to visit next, or which critically acclaimed restaurant to spend that spare cash in could cause you undue stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The weather. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OK, so the North East is colder and wetter than many parts of the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But now you will be able to afford quality winter weather clothing, so it will not be a problem.
