Cardiff & Surrounds

Cardiff, situated in the Lake Macquarie LGA, is bordered by major suburbs such as Glendale and Macquarie Hills.

Once established as a coal mining town in the late 19th century, Cardiff has transformed over the years from an industrial hub to a flourishing residential community. The town centre now serves as a lively commercial hub, while nearby Glendale boasts the Hunter Sports Centre and the Stockland Glendale Shopping Complex, offering a variety of retail and recreational options. Cardiff Train Station provides easy access to the Central Coast and Sydney, making it a prime location for commuters.

The area is rich in parks, sports fields, and recreational facilities, as well as educational institutions such as Cardiff Public School and Cardiff High School. Just a short drive away from Lake Macquarie, Cardiff offers affordable housing while still being close to the lake’s recreational amenities, appealing to those seeking the best of both worlds.

To the east, Macquarie Hills is a tranquil, tree-filled suburb featuring modern residential developments, along with its own shopping centre and childcare services.

Together, these suburbs offer a mix of convenience, green space, and community, making Cardiff and its surrounding areas a highly desirable place to live.
