Greater Mayfield

The Greater Mayfield area is attracting a diverse range of buyers. From first-time buyers seeking their initial property, to families interested in classic older homes, and even those looking to downsize.

Local Insights Edition 14: Greater Mayfield

Equium Social, Mayfield East

Long-time Novocastrians will recognise Mayfield for its genuine residents, many of whom have lived here their entire lives. However, over the past decade, Mayfield has increasingly drawn in younger couples and families, fostering a close-knit community that appreciates the blend of old and new in the area’s homes, as well as its convenient proximity to the city, parks, and local hangouts.

Maitland Road runs through the heart of Mayfield and serves as a bustling hub of shops and essential services. Numerous popular cafés have opened, including Equium Social, Side Pocket Espresso, and Onyx. Favourite local pubs include the Stag and Hunter Hotel and The Beauford. Both public schools in the area— Mayfield East and Mayfield West—are highly regarded, as are St Columban’s Primary and San Clemente High School.
