Families, first home buyers, and second home buyers alike are drawn to Maitland for its affordable housing, excellent schools, strong community services, and future-focused developments. For Hunter Homes, Maitland isn’t just a place we build, it’s home.
Maitland is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Hunter region, with its population expected to surpass 100,000 residents soon. Strategic planning initiatives, including the East Maitland Catalyst Area (EMCA) Structure Plan, are guiding the delivery of new homes, jobs, and essential services close to schools, transport links, and community hubs.
For first home buyers especially, Maitland presents a rare opportunity: affordable land, flexible housing options, and the confidence of building with a local builder who knows the region inside out.
Maitland blends regional charm with modern convenience, making everyday life simple, social, and genuinely enjoyable:
And because our team lives and works right here, we know the best local spots.
