Suburb profile
Camberwell is a welcoming smaller community in Singleton, with a settled community character. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with a strong presence of young families throughout.
Pocket parks and green corners give residents room to get outside without leaving the neighbourhood. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
Homes are relatively affordable, which helps families and first-time residents put down roots.
