Local Insights:
Western City Fringe
The Western City Fringe of Newcastle includes the well-established suburbs of Georgetown, Hamilton North, Waratah, and Waratah West. These areas offer a diverse range of properties, from single-storey cottages beloved by renovators to homes ideal for knock-down rebuilds.

Waratah Shopping Village
Waratah is home to Waratah Village, a popular shopping centre that adds to the area’s appeal, while Georgetown offers a more community-oriented atmosphere with its collection of family-owned shops and local cafés. Waratah West, known for its elevated streets, boasts larger blocks and a mix of multi-storey residences, making it an attractive option for those seeking space and privacy.
The University of Newcastle, located nearby, has stimulated significant investment in the region, with new developments catering to student accommodation.
