The absolute best part about newtown is it's convient proximity to the city, while still maintaining a quiet neighbouhood atmosphere.

I live on one of the main streets in Newtown, so my view of traffic and noise is coloured by the never ending torrent of vehicle passing my front gate. However if it wasn't for that, we would never want to leave. The side streets are quiet and have nice houses.

We've never had any trouble with security, however you do get the occaisional rowdy group passing by on a Saturday night.

Many of the houses in Newtown have been occupied by owner/renvators who have restored the face of the suburb and thus raised it's profile as a desirable place to live.

Newtown still has "corner store" type businesses around the place, including a butcher, small medical centre, pharmacy, Pizza & Pasta place, but if you weren't inclined to offer the your business there are several shopping centres within a 3min drive. Several Service Stations around the suburb.
