North Tamworth is a suburb of Tamworth, New South Wales, Australia, in the city's north. It is between East Tamworth and Oxley Vale. Behind North Tamworth sits the suburbs of Forest Hills, and Moore Creek. North Tamworth was once considered a less prestigious old part of Tamworth in contrast to historically old prestigious East Tamworth. However, like West Tamworth, its property market value has increased significantly over the last ten years.
