Cardiff Heights New Lambton Heights

New Lambton Heights and Cardiff Heights are neighbouring areas in New South Wales.

This higher income is consistent with a greater number of large homes, as 95.0% of dwellings in New Lambton Heights have three or more bedrooms compared to 77.2% in Cardiff Heights.
