About Wickham

Wickham has been one of Newcastle's fastest-changing suburbs, rebuilt around the Newcastle Interchange and light rail terminus. Older workers' cottages sit alongside new apartment and townhouse developments.

It's a short walk to both the CBD and Honeysuckle, with Maitland Road's cafes and shops running through the middle of the suburb.
