"North Wollongong - perfect for young professionals, students and beach lovers!"
We own an investment property in North Wollongong, ca. 2 minutes walk from the beach. Due to its proximity to the CBD, the university and a free bus to the city, North Wollongong is popular among students and professionals. There is also a train station. There are a few eateries, but the immediate neighbourhood could do with a proper supermarket so residents do not have to use an expensive corner shop.
Great for
- Close to the beach
- Close to the University of Wollongong
- Central to everything wollongong
- Public transport is everywhere (trains, buses etc)
- Safe area (never had anything stolen)
Not great for
- Parking is a bit sparse (if you dont have a driveway)

"Central Location To Everything You Need In Life!"
I live in Noel Street in North Wollongong and LOVE IT! I work full time and attend uni as well so I have a pretty hectic lifestyle. What makes North Wollongong a perfect place to live is that it is central to everything, the beach, pubs, shops, uni, hospital. It takes 3 mintues by car to get onto the freeway in the morning, 5 minutes to walk to the beach and one minute to walk to the pub.

Hi Steve
I am planning to move to North Wollongong , but if I search about crime rate, it says different stories. few people are suggesting there is too much crime there. I am planning to move to the same street as yours, so would like to know if its safe there?
Not sure how old this comment is but I live basically a street away from Noel St and I've never felt unsafe before. It does get a bit loud friday/saturday nights as the North Gong Hotel is nearby and everyone drunk walks home very loud lol. Better than drink driving though so I honestly couldn't care less. I love that everyone can walk home safely in the area. I also work from home and have never seen anything shady going on in the neighbourhood. Everyone is really lovely :)
Hope that helps!
Absolutely agree, stunning beach and close to everything
