About West Wallsend
West Wallsend grew up around the West Wallsend Colliery in the 1880s, and the old Withers Street shopping strip still anchors the town today after a council streetscape upgrade.
The suburb mixes original miners' cottages with newer housing, and backs onto the Sugarloaf State Conservation Area for residents who want bushwalking close to home.
Who buys here
Fifty-six houses sold here in the past year, with values up 3.5% over 12 months, drawn by the town's affordability and its own working shopping strip.
