Beaumont Street, Hamilton

Newcastle’s inner suburbs offer a blend of historic charm, suburban convenience, and a welcoming community atmosphere. With treelined streets, spacious homes, and easy access to the city, these areas are a popular choice for families and professionals alike.

Hamilton thrives as a lively hub, with Beaumont Street at its heart – home to a vibrant mix of cafés, restaurants, pubs, and boutique shopping. Hamilton South, known for its wide streets and grand Federation-style homes, is particularly sought after by families thanks to its proximity to quality schools like Hamilton South Public and Newcastle High.

Homes here range from classic post-war designs to spacious split-level properties with generous gardens, ample parking, and even room for a pool. The area is well-serviced by schools such as Adamstown Public, St Pius X High, Kotara South Public, and Kotara High, making it an appealing choice for growing families.

MUST VISIT

Pekárna,
277 Brunker Road, Adamstown

Great coffee and housemade European cakes in the heart of Adamstown. Perkárna is a Czech word meaning ‘bakehouse’, so it’s no surprise you’ll find some traditional Czech sweets in the cabinet. From cheesecake by the slice to a whole range of tarts, pastries and more, this is definitely one for the sweet-tooths.
