Suburb profile

Mayfield North is a residential smaller community in Newcastle with a familiar suburban feel. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. A younger crowd gives the area energy.

Housing carries a premium, but residents tend to feel the lifestyle justifies the commitment. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.

Steady development is bringing new homes and gradual renewal to parts of the suburb.
