Narwee - Beverly Hills is still affordable — but expensive to rent

Narwee - Beverly Hills 2209 · Hurstville, Greater Sydney, NSW

Narwee - Beverly Hills is still relatively affordable to rent, with a median of $700 a week (DCJ, 2026-Q1) — about $80 below the Greater Sydney median; a train station within walking distance (Beverly Hills, about 400 m). The trade-offs: renting is expensive, a median of $700 a week (DCJ, 2026-Q1); the population is barely moving.

A mix of houses and units, with a median age of 40 and households on a median $1,646 a week at the 2021 Census.

Compiled from ABS regional population (SA2), the 2021 Census, SEIFA 2021, NSW DCJ median rents, NSW DCJ median sale prices, NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research reported offences, NSW SES Georges River flood database, OpenStreetMap and ACARA Schools NSW / NSW Dept of Education · figures current to September 2026.

Modelled flood extents

NSW SES models three flood-extent scenarios for the Georges River catchment, from the standard flood-planning benchmark to a worst-case extent. None of these say a flood has actually occurred — they mark land that modelling puts inside each scenario’s reach.

  • 1% AEP (1-in-100-year): the standard NSW flood-planning benchmark — a flood with a 1-in-100 chance of being reached or exceeded in any given year.
  • Flood potential: a broader strategic extent of land that could be affected under any of the modelled flood scenarios.
  • Probable Maximum Flood: the most severe flood NSW SES models as physically possible for this catchment — rare, but the outer limit of what's possible.

NSW SES's Georges River flood modelling puts about 14% of Narwee - Beverly Hills inside the 1% AEP (1-in-100-year) flood extent — the standard NSW flood-planning benchmark. In NSW SES's worst-case Probable Maximum Flood scenario, that grows to about 24% of the suburb.

This data only covers the Georges River catchment (southern and south-western Sydney) — NSW SES hasn’t published an equivalent modelled-extent map for Sydney’s other catchments, and a suburb rollup can’t tell you about an individual property.
