SaraW Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 We are mid forties/fifties. Considering Newcastle as a location. I have work lined up but would like to know how this area might work for us. Husband is a management consultant and daughter is doing a graphic design degree but plays rugby union to a high level. We all love our social life, entertainment and restaurants are important but we have 2 dogs too so inner city is not for us. I've heard its a bit run down but suburbs are nice, how grim is it?

Bungo Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I only visited, but thought Newcastle was a lovely city. It didn't look at all run down to me and not far away there are some lovely beaches. I would definitely live there if work was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapri Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Newcastle isn't grim! Its surrounded by beaches, beautiful countryside and trees! We we love it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I agree, Newcastle has an undeserved reputation as being rough and rundown, but that's well out of date. The city centre can be a bit grungy but the beaches are stunning, there are some really nice suburbs and it's very affordable compared to Sydney.
