Inner Suburbs

Newcastle’s inner suburbs stretch from Hamilton to Adamstown Heights, offering a diverse range of properties within a short 10-minute drive to the city’s beaches and CBD.

These areas feature spacious homes on larger plots, often with verdant surroundings and a strong sense of community among local families.

Hamilton, with its historic grid layout, centres around the lively Beaumont Street, known for its selection of cafés, restaurants, pubs, and shopping options. Hamilton South is renowned for its wide, tree-lined streets and grand federation-style homes, making it a popular choice for families due to its proximity to Hamilton South Public School and Newcastle High School.

Slightly further out, Adamstown, Adamstown Heights, Kotara, and Kotara South remain conveniently central while offering their own shopping precincts, such as Brunker Road. These areas are increasingly seeing the emergence of new neighbourhood cafés and shops.

Adamstown Heights and Kotara predominantly feature split-level homes on larger plots, with ample parking, spacious gardens (often with the option to install a pool), and natural surroundings. Schools in these areas include Adamstown Public, St Pius X High, Kotara South Public, and Kotara High.
