Newcastle may not be as big as Sydney or Melbourne but as you move from one suburb to the next there are unique characteristics to each area.
With many people focused on the area and the lifestyle it will provide, more and more people are choosing to rent in their desired location instead of buying elsewhere.
Below, we explore a few key suburbs in Newcastle and the different lifestyles that come with each.
Merewether
One of the more expensive suburbs of Newcastle, Merewether is known for its beautiful beachside walks, ocean baths and gorgeous views.
Cooks Hill
With the popular Darby Street on its doorstep, Cooks Hill is like a little Melbourne with endless cafes, restaurants and boutiques along the busy strip.
Newcastle East
Shoes are optional in the East End as most people you come across are making their way down to Newcastle Beach for a surf or swim.
Hamilton
Sitting within Hamilton, Beaumont street is one of the main streets in Newcastle, home to a wide variety of cafes, shops and restaurants.
Carrington
The “island” of Carrington can feel like a world away from the CBD and yet it is only a short drive or bike ride from the hustle and bustle of Newcastle’s city centre.
Islington
This quirky suburb is a collective of vintage clothes, art and of course great coffee.
New Lambton
This family friendly suburb is surrounded by a community of small businesses, parks and schools.
