Suburb profile
Oakhampton is a welcoming smaller community in Maitland, with a settled community character. The community is self-contained in the best sense. Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. An older demographic makes it especially popular with retirees.
Reasonable public transport access helps with commuting and getting around locally. Homes here are sought-after, with many people drawn to the lifestyle the area offers.
Occasional new builds add variety while most of the suburb keeps its established look.
