Camden Suburbs Ranked: Most Affordable to Most Expensive
Camden is one of the most popular property markets in Sydney right now, and it's easy to see why. New estates, good schools, strong infrastructure investment, and a price point that's still more accessible than most of Sydney. But Camden LGA is not one market. It's a collection of very different suburbs with a surprisingly wide price range.
If you're trying to work out where your budget fits, here's how the suburbs stack up from most affordable to most expensive, for both houses and units.
Houses: From Most Affordable to Most Expensive
Catherine Field and Leppington — around $850,000 to $950,000
Catherine Field and Leppington sit on the northern edge of Camden LGA, bordering Liverpool. They're among the more affordable entry points in the LGA and attract strong first home buyer interest. Leppington has a train station on the T2 Inner West and South Line, which is a genuine advantage over many other Camden suburbs. New estates continue to release land in this area, giving buyers good options at a more accessible price point.

Oran Park — around $950,000 to $1,162,000
Oran Park is one of Camden LGA's most active markets, with 398 house sales in the past 12 months, more than any other suburb in the LGA. It's a masterplanned community with a town centre, schools, parks and medical facilities already in place. The median house price sits at around $1,162,000, with annual growth of around 9%.

Camden — around $1,000,000 to $1,170,000
The Camden township itself is one of the more established and character-rich parts of the LGA. It's the heritage heart of the area, with a mix of Victorian cottages, Federation homes and newer builds on larger blocks. The median house price sits at around $1,100,000 to $1,170,000, with strong annual growth of around 13% to 16% depending on the data source. It's a smaller market with fewer sales than the newer estates, which means stock is tight and good properties are competed for.
Mount Annan — around $1,000,000 to $1,100,000
Mount Annan is a well established suburb with the Australian Botanic Garden as its centrepiece, excellent schools, good shopping and a leafy feel that sets it apart from the newer estates. The median house price sits around $1,000,000 to $1,100,000, with rental yields of around 3.5% to 3.7%. Properties here tend to have slightly larger blocks than the newer releases, which appeals to families who want more outdoor space.
Spring Farm — around $1,000,000 to $1,100,000
Spring Farm sits between Camden and Narellan and offers a mix of established and newer homes. The median price is around $1,020,000 to $1,100,000. It's a family-focused suburb with good local schools and parks, and is well positioned between the Narellan Town Centre and the Camden township for everyday shopping and services.
Elderslie — around $975,000 to $1,125,000
Elderslie is an established suburb that sits between the Camden township and Narellan, offering a mix of older homes on generous blocks and newer townhouse style dwellings. Prices range from around $975,000 to $1,125,000 depending on property size and location. It's a popular choice for buyers who want an established suburb feel without paying the premium of some of Camden's newer masterplanned communities.
Narellan and Narellan Vale — around $1,100,000 to $1,200,000
Narellan is one of Camden LGA's most established and well-serviced suburbs, anchored by Narellan Town Centre which is one of South West Sydney's largest shopping centres. The median house price sits at around $1,109,000 to $1,200,000. Narellan Vale, which sits adjacent, has a similar profile and price point. Both suburbs attract strong buyer demand from families who want established amenity with good access to schools, medical services and transport.
Cobbitty — around $950,000 to $1,200,000
Cobbitty is an interesting market. Parts of it are acreage and semi-rural, attracting buyers who want larger land sizes, while other parts have newer residential development at more accessible prices. Recent sales data shows a wide range from around $950,000 to over $1,200,000, reflecting the diversity of property types available. It's a suburb worth exploring if you want more land for your money within Camden LGA.
Harrington Park — around $1,300,000 to $1,515,000
Harrington Park is one of Camden LGA's premium suburbs. The median house price sits at around $1,515,000, with consistent annual growth of around 6.7%. It's an overwhelmingly owner-occupier market, with around 85.7% of homes occupied by their owners. Large, modern family homes, over 70 hectares of parks and open space, excellent schools and a strong community character make it one of the most sought-after addresses in the LGA.

Gledswood Hills — around $1,270,000 to $1,720,000
Gledswood Hills is positioned at the premium end of Camden LGA's newer estates. Recent sales data shows a wide range, with properties selling from around $1,270,000 up to $1,720,000 depending on size and specification. It's a newer community with a mix of established and newly built homes, and it attracts upgrader families looking for something larger and more premium than the entry-level new estates. The Eden estate within Gledswood Hills is one of the most sought-after new residential communities in the LGA.
Units: From Most Affordable to Most Expensive
Units are a very small part of the Camden LGA market. The LGA is dominated by freestanding houses, and unit stock across most suburbs is extremely limited. That said, there are some options for buyers who want to enter the market at a lower price point.
Oran Park units — around $575,000 to $750,000
Oran Park has the most active unit market in Camden LGA, with 57 unit sales in the past 12 months. The median unit price sits at around $750,000, with rental yields of around 4%. It's a genuine option for first home buyers who want to get into Camden LGA at a more accessible price point, and for investors looking at the combination of yield and long-term capital growth potential in one of Sydney's fastest growing corridors.
Harrington Park units — limited stock, around $700,000 to $900,000
There are some townhouse and smaller dwelling options in Harrington Park, though supply is very tight. Prices range from around $700,000 to $900,000 depending on size and location. Given the suburb's premium owner-occupier character, units and townhouses here tend to hold their value well.
Narellan and Mount Annan units — around $650,000 to $800,000
Both suburbs have limited unit stock, primarily older style units and townhouses. Prices generally sit between $650,000 and $800,000. For buyers who want established suburb amenity at an accessible price, these represent one of the few genuine unit options in the LGA outside of Oran Park.
What Does This Mean for Your Budget?
Camden LGA's house market starts from around $850,000 at the more accessible end in Catherine Field and Leppington, rises through the $1,000,000 to $1,200,000 range across the established and new estate suburbs, and reaches $1,500,000 or more in the premium pockets of Harrington Park and Gledswood Hills.
For buyers whose budget is under $1,000,000, Catherine Field, Leppington, and the entry level parts of Oran Park and Gregory Hills are the most realistic options for a house. For buyers with $1,000,000 to $1,300,000, almost every suburb in the LGA opens up. Above $1,300,000, Harrington Park and Gledswood Hills offer the premium end of the market.
For unit buyers, Oran Park is the most active and accessible market in the LGA, with genuine options from around $575,000.
