Surrounded by national parkland, it is a very liveable, family friendly town with excellent public schools, affordable house pricing and rental market, and home to the University of New England. An emerging cafe and music scene and a wide variety of clubs, pubs and community groups has contributed recently to many city dwellers making the tree change to call Armidale home.
