Ingleburn is still affordable — but barely growing

Ingleburn 2565 · Campbelltown (NSW), Greater Sydney, NSW

Ingleburn is still relatively affordable to rent, with a median of $675 a week (DCJ, 2026-Q1) — about $105 below the Greater Sydney median; a young, family-heavy area (median age 37). The trade-offs: the population is barely moving; unemployment runs above the Sydney norm, at 6.5%.
