About Adamstown
Adamstown sits around Glebe Road, five kilometres south-west of the CBD, with the Adamstown shops and the Uniting Church precinct forming its centre. It's a well-established suburb of mostly older cottages and Federation-era homes.
The train line runs through the suburb, with Adamstown station giving a direct link into the city and up the line towards Maitland.
Locals often call Adamstown "Merewether West", and it's going through a strong wave of gentrification as buyers priced out of Merewether look a few streets further inland. Blocks here are generally larger, and with Newcastle's bigger growth plans, including the renewal of neighbouring Broadmeadow, we're seeing density and zoning across the area increase.
Families are drawn here because it's still a short drive to the beach while sitting close to the city centre. It's also home base for us, with the Hunter Property Buyers office on Brunker Road, Adamstown.
Who buys here
Families and first home buyers after character housing within easy reach of the CBD and the hospital precinct. A steady base of long-term owners.
Seventy-four houses sold in the past year, with values up 6.7% over that period and stock typically moving inside a month.
