We moved to Somerset Park which is about 35 minutes West of Newcastle CBD. About 10 years ago it was a country type atmosphere, but nowadays it is as nearly as busy as Parramatta. New estates are springing up everywhere in Maitland. Traffic is a huge problem, the streets and bridges just cannot cope with the increase in traffic. If you need to go to a doctor you might be lucky enough for one to take you on but they are flat out all of the time. Our local school that is built for about 250 kids has over 700 enrolled. My best advice is to stay away from this area as it has basically turned into a big mess.
