Well for a start - don't live in the City of Newcastle - the best people live in the City of Lake Macquarie - around the lake.
Steer clear of Toronto, and some areas Swansea can be a bit dodgy too  .Garry

near sandgate, theres a few good areas i can think of Warabrook is very close and not a bad place, Also Maryland is good for a family, Maryland is only 5mins from some nice 4wding out at sugarloaf. If your more of a beach front person, Stockton is a great place but bloody expensive as is most of the beach side suburbs around Newcastle. If you after are more rural area and a few acres, you can look around minmi and black hill, there around the edges of sugarloaf, or head north a bit towards raymond terrace and its surround suburbs. I guess it depends what your after!

Hi Knotty7, Maryville and Islington are best avoided in the inner area of Newcastle.Windale on the southern side has a dubious reputation as well.Most other areas are OK with variations within suburbs. Charlestown has a major shopping centre as does Kotara. I grew up in New Lambton and that is nice. Sandgate is on the Highway so has rapid access to the Maitland area as well.Wherever you pick, check for flood potential. The 2007 storm flooded a lot of places that I would not have thought likely to be inundated.Feel free to PM me if you want any opinion on particular suburbs. Cheers, 130man.
