Almost every home in Nelson Bay is within a 10-minute walk of public transport. This coastal spot in Port Stephens is a highly accessible place where nearly all residents can also reach a park within 15 minutes. While it is a well-connected hub, the area is somewhat walkable overall, as many homes are further from schools, health services, and groceries than is typical for New South Wales.
