Rental Appeal
Gordon Park is quite a small and secluded suburb that is essentially a âpocketâ that has Stafford Rd to the north and the remainder of the suburb is wrapped around by Kedron Brook Creek with plenty of bike paths and green space. The area is popular with owner occupiers and tenants due to the close proximity to nearby Stafford Shopping Centre, options of weekend relaxation and good transport access to the CBD.
Transport Options
Gordon Park has excellent road access via the tunnel on Stafford Rd as well as Lutwyche Rd to get to the CBD, Airport and surrounding suburbs. A trip from Gordon Park to the airport takes less than 10 minutes as does a trip to the CBD. While there is no train in Gordon Park, on the border of the suburb on Lutwyche Rd is the end of the busway with a large station meaning a bus trip to the city is quick and relatively traffic free making it very appealing for commuters.
Local Shops
Gordon Park does not have any local shops apart from a couple of small ones on Stafford Rd. The nearest shops are about a 5 minute drive to the west to Stafford City Shopping Centre which is a very large home maker and shopping precinct, or a 5 minute drive to the east to the smaller and recently renovated Lutwyche Shopping Centre.

WHY HAMILTON?
Hamilton is one of Newcastleâs most vibrant and in-demand inner-city suburbs, known for its strong cafĂ© culture, heritage housing, nightlife and unbeatable access to the CBD. It is consistently one of the highest-performing rental markets in Newcastle due to its combination of lifestyle appeal, transport connectivity and proximity to employment hubs.

The suburb is centred around Beaumont Street, one of Newcastleâs most established dining and entertainment precincts. This creates a strong âvillage feelâ that continues to attract long-term tenants willing to pay a premium for convenience and lifestyle.

Household sizes tend to be smaller, with many single professionals and couples choosing Hamilton for its lifestyle rather than large family homes. There is also a strong transient rental population, particularly in apartments and smaller dwellings close to Beaumont Street.
