Newtown Real Estate & Suburb Profile Information

Similar in shape to Western Australia and wedged between the Barwon River and on the south-western side of Geelong city is the pocket-sized suburb of Newtown. Newtown has all the advantages that close proximity to Geelong CBD brings yet retains a charm and character all of its own. With plenty of recreational reserves a wildlife sanctuary and wetland areas surrounding the Barwon River, it offers breathing space that is so hard to find these days in inner urban areas.

The abundance of schools and colleges in Newtown provide added appeal for families looking to live close to good educational facilities. The suburb boasts two primary schools, the Geelong College preparatory and senior schools, and three Catholic schools and colleges.

The largest number of Newtown's 9,580 residents are employed in professional occupations, many of whom are employed in education. The presence of so many Catholic schools and colleges attracts practicing Catholics to live in the area.

The Scope Shannon Park Centre provides local shopping convenience, while the retail choices available in the CBD are just minutes away.

Newtown is well-served by bus routes to Geelong city and the main schools and colleges. Melbourne is an hour away by rail or car.

Local leisure options open to Newtown residents include two 18 hole golf courses over the Barwon River and an easy walk to Kardinia Park, home of the champion Geelong Football Club. The Newtown Farmers Market is held every fourth Saturday of the month and the Highland Games are an annual event held at Queens Park.
