UNIQUE CITY WITH SOUL
Not many cities in the world can offer what Newcastle has: quality services for senior citizens, golden beaches, unique architecture, museums, a thriving restaurant scene and fun events. All of it within easy reach, just about two hours north of Sydney.
This beautiful harbour city is a popular choice for people retiring and downsizing. It has the facilities of a modern city and more affordable housing than Sydney.
Senior citizens make up a significant part of the Newcastle community. There are many support services to help enjoy a quality retirement. The city is home to The NSW Seniors Festival, the largest annual festival for seniors in the Southern Hemisphere, and to The University of the Third Age (U3A), which offers courses, classes and social get-togethers.
In Newcastle you can enjoy a relaxed retirement lifestyle, visiting artisan markets and walking along the beautiful Bathers Way. You can also indulge yourself with a visit to chic designer shops and art galleries, followed by a live show at the heritage-listed Civic Theatre.
