Purchased a house on the south side of King St about 12 months ago. I have to say that this side of Newtown has been surprisingly family friendly, with many young families and well behaved neighbors. Plenty of public parks and amenities as well,and the food is good and cheap! Public transport options are vast as we have the option of Newtown station, St Peters station, or the bus. Public transport is 15-30 mins to the CBD (depending on the time of day) and 60 mins walk to Martin Place. Love love love the artsy vibe and chilled atmosphere. Close to RPA, medical centres, Sydney Uni and UTS, as well as Marrickville, Enmore, Erskineville, the new Tempe Ikea and more. From my perspective as a homeowner, the area is continually upgrading with new and better stores, and many renovations underway... Including the controversial renovations to Marrickville Metro (no hate mail please!). Public schools also seem to be of decent quality. In short... If you have the means and after a trendy Inner city lifestyle, Newtown rocks!!!
