NEIGHBOURHOOD

About the Newcastle Neighbourhood

Newcastle est tout indiqué pour ceux qui affectionnent autant les activités intérieures qu'extérieures. Même si le quartier n'est pas connu pour son caractère animé, avec ses quelques 10 lieux dédiés au nightlife, il est très facile de trouver un endroit où prendre un verre parce que ceux-ci sont généralement tout près. En particulier, Stewart Avenue offre un large éventail d'endroits où sortir le soir. Par contre, il est facile de se rendre dans un espace vert, comme Beach Estates Park et Maffeo Sutton Park, puisque les résidents peuvent compter sur la présence d'une cinquantaine d'entre eux.
