Set on the edge of Lake Macquarie, Toronto is where water views meet a warm village feel, perfect for families, retirees, and relaxed lakeside living.
Life in Toronto feels unhurried yet connected. Locals head to the foreshore for weekend markets, launch boats from the marina, and gather in parks for community events. The town centre blends everyday convenience with a welcoming atmosphere, while nearby schools, clubs, and health services make it easy to settle in for the long term.
Toronto sits on the western shore of Lake Macquarie, about 30 minutes from Newcastle and 90 minutes north of Sydney. Well connected by road and bus links, it’s a popular base for families, retirees, and anyone who wants a slower pace by the water.
Housing here ranges from classic cottages and family homes to modern lakeview apartments. Demand is steady from both locals and out-of-area buyers drawn to the lifestyle and relative affordability compared to coastal hotspots.
The town centre offers supermarkets, cafes, pubs, and everyday essentials, while the foreshore is the community’s gathering point with its marina, sailing clubs, and weekend markets. Schools, sporting fields, and health services make it practical as well as picturesque.
