About Medowie
Medowie occupies a semi-rural position between Newcastle and Port Stephens, about 25 kilometres north of Newcastle. This suburb of roughly 10,900 residents offers space and affordability unusual in the broader Newcastle region. The character is semi-rural - larger blocks, more trees, and a slower pace than coastal suburbs.
Families seeking space are the primary demographic - people who want room for kids, dogs, and maybe a few chickens without paying beach prices. The community has grown rapidly as Newcastle's influence expands, bringing new facilities and services. It's not for those who want urban convenience, but for those who value space and don't mind a drive, it offers genuine lifestyle value.
Medowie falls under postcode 2318 and is governed by Port Stephens Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Port Stephens electorate.
