New Costessey is a mainly residential ward on the western edge of Norwich within the district of South Norfolk, Norfolk, England. It sits close to the older village of Costessey and the city's outer suburbs, with pleasant green spaces and river corridors nearby that give it a semi-rural feel despite being a short commute into the city.
Historically the area grew out from the older village and later 20th‑century housing expansion, so the neighbourhood mixes older buildings with post‑war and modern estates. Local life centres on community halls, primary schools, shops and amateur sports clubs, and the ward is largely a commuter and family area that benefits from easy access to Norwich while retaining a quieter, village‑like character.
