NR3 offers a variety of shops and independent businesses, stores, cafés, bars and restaurants, giving the area a great selection of convenient amenities. There are also plenty of parks and outdoor spaces including the popular Earlham Park, providing a tranquil contrast to the city centre.
The city centre of Norwich, despite being only around two miles away from NR3, is easily accessible from the area. Frequent buses depart from NR3, including the X1/A express which provides a direct and fast connection to the city centre, taking around 10 minutes. In addition, the area is served by two railway stations - Norwich and Wensum Park - providing easy access to other parts of the city and the East of England.
Living in NR3 comes with its fair share of advantages. The area is served by Norwich City Football Club's Carrow Road, providing convenient access to the popular football games and various other sporting and cultural events.
