What's it like to live in Mayfield?
Mayfield is growing hugely in popularity. Just a short drive to the CBD and the local beaches, Mayfield is in a great spot to visit central Newcastle or to get out to Maitland, Port Stephens and the New England region.
Originally a working class suburb because of its proximity to the old BHP Steelworks, Mayfield is gentrifying quickly as people move out from more expensive central suburbs. These changes have seen Mayfield become a safer suburb which has seen it become more popular with first-time buyers and families. It’s also one of the suburbs in Newcastle we’ve highlighted for property investors.

Mayfield features
When you live in Mayfield, most of your everyday needs are right on your doorstep.
Maitland Road is a thriving shopping street with all the essentials. For groceries, you’ve got Aldi and Woolies (and a Coles nearby in Mayfield East), and then there are chemists, servos and plenty of takeaways.
In the mornings, there are lots of cafes to choose from, with Equium Social considered one of the best in all of Newcastle. Likewise, Mayfield West Kebabs often comes top of recommendation lists for chips, snack packs, chicken and more.
By night time, there’s a bowling club, an ex-services, a Wests and the Mayfield Hotel, but the star of the show might be the Stag & Hunter. As well as the normal offerings, the Stag is one of the best live music venues in Newy, helping to support and nurture local talent.
Mayfield is one of Newcastle’s oldest suburbs, so expect lots of stunning architecture, but it’s also one of the most built up so there’s not loads of green space. However, there are some little gems, like the playground at Avon Park (pictured).
