EDITION 17

Newcastle Living

Local Insights:
Northern Suburbs

Stockton and Fern Bay shine in spring with quiet beaches, coastal walks, and parks alive with families.

Local Insights Edition 17: Northern Suburbs

Seaside Estate, Fern Bay

A short ferry ride links Stockton to the city, blending seaside charm with urban access, while Fern Bay’s modern homes and community spaces attract young families and downsizers alike. Fullerton Cove offers a slower pace with lifestyle villages and open landscapes, and Williamtown’s growing airport precinct is set to bring even greater connectivity. Together, the northern suburbs balance laid-back living with easy links to Newcastle and Port Stephens.
