Greater Sydney profile: sale prices and rents are published by postcode.
Campsie is a suburb with a fairly mixed age profile — median age 36, less socio-economically advantaged than most areas on the ABS's SEIFA index. Housing is mixed, with a meaningful share of apartments and units (around 67%) alongside houses. The area is still light on cafés, shops and other everyday amenity. It's close to the city and train-connected. House sales here are too infrequent for a reliable median — see the unit and land figures below.

Risk and planning in Campsie
Campsie has light heritage coverage on the council's LEP heritage map (about 3%), though a listing can still apply to individual parcels.
Suburb-wide shares of the land, not a check of any one address.
Not covered by this dataset (most Sydney councils map flood risk separately). Not the same as no flood risk; check with council.
The share of the suburb on the council's Local Environmental Plan heritage map: 30 listed heritage items. There, demolishing, moving or altering the outside of a heritage item, or of a building, work or tree in a conservation area, structural changes inside a listed building, building on that land or subdividing it generally need development consent, and similar rules cover Aboriginal places and objects. (NSW Parliamentary Counsel's Office, verified 26 Oct 2026) Minor work or maintenance can go ahead without it if the council agrees in writing first.

Recorded crime is a suburb-wide rate — every offence NSW Police logged over the latest year (theft, property damage, drug and traffic offences and the like, not only violent crime) divided by the suburb’s residents. A broad area signal, not a figure for this exact street.
All figures are suburb-level indicators, not property-specific — always confirm the exact address on the contract for sale. Sources: ABS Census 2021, NSW DCJ Rent and Sales Report, NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, NSW Rural Fire Service (Bush Fire Prone Land), NSW Planning Portal.

Before you buy in Campsie
Overlay and pipeline checks specific to Campsie are in the Planning and risk tab. Two checks apply to every purchase.
Easements & restrictions
Check the contract for sale and title search for easements (e.g. drainage/sewer along a boundary — you usually can’t build over them) and restrictive covenants (single-dwelling, materials, height) that limit your plans.
Owners corporation (if applicable)
Apartments and many townhouses in Campsie are in an owners corporation. If so, the statement must include its certificate — review annual fees, any special levies, the maintenance fund and insurance.
Questions about Campsie
What is the median unit/townhouse price in Campsie?
The median sale price for strata dwellings (mostly units/townhouses) was $669,000 in the Jan–Mar 2026 quarter for postcode 2194 (NSW DCJ Rent and Sales Report), up 2.9% on a year earlier. Non-strata sales for postcode 2194 are too few for the DCJ Rent and Sales Report to publish a reliable median.
What postcode is Campsie?
Campsie is in postcode 2194, in the Canterbury-Bankstown council area, New South Wales.
What is the population of Campsie?
Campsie had 26,132 usual residents at the 2021 Census (ABS), with a median age of 36.
Is Campsie affected by flood or bushfire overlays?
Campsie's council doesn't map flood risk through the EPI Flood Planning overlay (most Sydney councils use a DCP or separate flood study instead, which Delora doesn't yet carry) — this is not the same as no flood risk. Bush Fire Prone Land is not mapped for Campsie in this dataset (NSW Rural Fire Service). These are suburb-wide shares: whether one applies to a particular property depends on the address, so check it on the NSW Planning Portal's spatial viewer and in the contract for sale.
What should I check before buying in Campsie?
For Campsie, pay particular attention to any flood or bushfire risk (bush fire prone land not mapped for this suburb, flood risk not mapped by this dataset), the zoning of the block and neighbouring blocks, and — for strata properties — the strata report, by-laws and any special levies. Always have a licensed conveyancer or solicitor review the contract for sale before you sign.

How is Campsie zoned?
Most of Campsie (45% of the land) is zoned R4 High Density Residential, then R3 Medium Density Residential (31%) and SP2 Infrastructure (8%) under the council's Local Environmental Plan (NSW Planning Portal). The zone sets what can be built; check the zone for an exact address on the Planning Portal's spatial viewer or a section 10.7 planning certificate.
Which school catchments cover Campsie?
Parts of Campsie are in the government school catchments for primary: Ashbury PS, Belmore NPS, Belmore SPS, Campsie PS and 6 more; secondary: Ashfield BHS, Belmore BHS, Burwood GHS, Canterbury BHS and 6 more (NSW Department of Education). A suburb can span several catchments: the exact address decides which applies, so confirm it on NSW School Finder.
Is Campsie heritage listed?
About 3% of Campsie is on the council's Local Environmental Plan heritage map, including 30 listed heritage items. For a heritage item or land in a heritage conservation area, demolition, exterior and structural interior changes, new buildings and subdivision generally need development consent, unless the council agrees in writing that minor work or maintenance doesn't (Standard Instrument LEP clause 5.10). Check an exact address on its section 10.7 planning certificate.
Guides for buying in Campsie
