City & Beaches

As the name implies, the City & Beaches precinct includes much of Newcastle’s CBD and its outskirts, extending across our picturesque beaches from Nobbys to Merewether.

The area features a mix of apartments and medium-density housing, with high-rise buildings offering ocean and city views. Residents benefit from easy access to Darby Street’s café culture, boutique shopping in the East End, Honeysuckle’s nightlife, and cultural attractions such as the soon to be re-opened Newcastle Regional Art Gallery.

New apartment developments in the East End and Honeysuckle appeal to young couples and retirees, while families favour the larger homes and proximity to schools in suburbs like Cooks Hill, The Junction, and Merewether. These suburbs are among Newcastle’s oldest, featuring a blend of period-style homes on spacious private plots alongside newer modern developments as you move closer to the beach.
