Life in Newtown
The everyday things that make tenants want to live here and stay here.
Eat & drink
King Street is one of Sydney's longest dining and cafe strips, so most nights out start within walking distance of home. The Enmore Theatre is nearby when dinner turns into a show.
Green space
Camperdown Memorial Rest Park gives the suburb its breathing room. When King Street gets busy, locals head for the grass with a coffee and let the afternoon slow down.
Getting around
Newtown station is minutes from Central, so the city commute is a short one. Sydney University and the RPA precinct border the suburb, putting lectures and hospital shifts within easy reach.
The homes
Victorian terraces line the back streets, with warehouse conversions and apartments above the strip for renters after something with more character.
Renting in Newtown
Median weekly asking rents in Newtown currently run at one-bedroom units around $650 a week, two-bedroom units around $830, three-bedroom houses around $1,195 (June 2026 medians).
