About Swansea
Swansea sits either side of the channel where Lake Macquarie meets the Pacific, and works as the main shopping and services hub for the string of beach and lake suburbs around it.
The Swansea Bridge, boat harbour and town centre give it a working coastal-town feel rather than a purely residential one.
Who buys here
Swansea had the highest sales volume of the whole South East Lake group, with 98 houses sold in the past year and values up 5.5% over 12 months.
