"Centrally located, affordable and friendly"
Brought a house in Metford in mid 2011 and could not be happier! Metford is in great proximity to Newcastle, Greenhills shopping centre and Maitland. There are good local services and schools, TAFE, parks and public transport are handy. Would certainly recommend Metford as an area to live in and believe that it is under-rated.

Hi, I think majority of the streets are nice and Metford actually only has 7% Housing Commission which is low compared to other areas like Tenambit which has 14%.
But the street to avoid is Willow Drive and the entrance to, not all houses are and HC though and some are being sold and being bought by investors. I'm sure their all nice decent people and keep their homes nice. Good luck with your property search its an exciting time for you! The area is bound to go up being in the East and all the future developments coming. I just bought in the area called Old Metford which has a good feel to it, the homes are all different being built in the 80's and its greener. This area is from the Christian School up to the new proposed hospital site. But the new Estate area up past the tafe is nice too.
What do you think about Nathan close??
