Suburb profile

Charlton is a residential smaller community in Bathurst Regional with a familiar suburban feel. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. Young professionals and new households shape much of the local mix, with plenty of young families in the mix.

There is enough green space nearby for walks, picnics and after-school play. Transport options are solid enough for daily errands and regular trips further afield.

Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience.
