I have lived here my whole life, and I would have to say it's not terrible. If you know where to go, and where to avoid, you'll be all good. The good thing about the gang culture here is that if you don't actively get INVOLVED with the gangs, then they'll leave you alone for the most part. As long as you know to run away when some bloke asks you if you want a cigarette, then you'll be good. Not to mention, Kotara is an extremely safe suburb. The primary schools and preschools are amazing, but the high schools will be where you see some bad stuff. At the end of the day, Newcastle is an alright place to live, and while not super safe, it's still not the most dangerous place in the world.

I'm considering buying in Wallsend. Are there certain parts/streets I should avoid?
