Newcastle Living

Local Insights:
Western City Fringe

Within a 15 minute drive of the Newcastle CBD, but also central to other hubs like Kotara and Charlestown, these suburbs have become amazingly popular with first and second home buyers wanting to dip their toe into renovating.

Local Insights Edition 13: Western City Fringe

Waratah is home to Waratah Village, a popular shopping centre, while Georgetown and Hamilton North have more of a small community atmosphere with their small strips of familyowned shops and cafes.

The streets of Waratah West are largely elevated, lending to bigger blocks and multi-storey dwellings. The nearby University of Newcastle has drawn in more and more investors, as well as newer developments serving as student accommodation.
