Pretty much an inner-city suburb dominated with terraces, University, RPA hospital and a towering social housing estate full of ice, gangs, transgender prostitutes and crime, people almost regularly die at that complex, and it is almost always connected to intoxication or drug related, hence why they fenced the courtyard off from non-residents. Do not walk around here at night unless you want to get held up at the point of a rusty bloody syringe

Newtown is a suburb sitting right in the middle, separating Glebe from Marrickville, cut in half by the filthy King street shopping strip filled with Alternative Hipsters and some of the most seedy and unpredictable characters you have seen in Sydney. The area is a pool of Towering Public Housing, freaks, crime, rubbish and graffiti.

Though the actual Bogan (Ugg boots, Thongs, Flannel shirts, Redneck) count isn’t that high. This area is littered with more extreme versions of this, wearing Nike and Nautica known as “lads”. Quite a noticeable proportion of people in Newtown carry weapons, a lot of knives and in many cases guns, and will likely use it on you anyways for the sake of it, when they mug you, hence why most of the “hipsters” taking up the rest of the area turn a blind eye when you are in need of their desperate help.

King street and Newtown Central near the Station is considered the main part of the area, filled with gangs of youths with shirts over their faces running amok, fighting, ready to take your money in front of park benches where older drug users beg for money while drunk. And as for Forbes street and the top end shops...... God help you there, the only reason people go there is to buy/sell drugs or start a fight.

Just recently, a 711 worker was bashed for the register money, and an off-duty police officer was stabbed, and that speaks for itself.

Newtown is the worst.... Walking home from school, it is hard to watch. Little kids swearing, drinking, smoking near adults drunk fighting at the bus stop. Do not bring your children up around here.
