Maryville is a Harbourside suburb of Newcastle, surrounded by the Throsby Creek system.

It is situated by the boundary of Throsby Creek, by Islington Park to the south and Wickham to the East.

Due to this, a large influx of professional workers seeking close proximity to the water, local beaches and city now call Maryville home.

In past times, Maryville was considered an industrial suburb where much of Newcastle's working class resided in the smaller miners cottages.

However, in recent years, Maryville has become one of Newcastle's most expensive suburbs, breaking the $1 million barrier in November 2021.
