Annangrove
At a $3,200,000 median house price, Annangrove sits among the most expensive residential addresses in Greater Sydney, yet its population of just 1,472 makes it one of the quietest. Household income ranks in the 94.3rd percentile nationally, consistent with a suburb where 81.5% of dwellings have four or more bedrooms and 98% are separate houses. The median resident age of 44 is 4 years above the national figure, and 49.6% of households own their home outright, well above average, reflecting long-tenure, high-equity ownership rather than speculative turnover. Construction employs 26.1% of local workers, the highest share of any industry.

The entry price for Annangrove is steep. The median house price reached $3,200,000 as of 2024-2025, compared to the broader Sydney median, making this one of the dearest suburban markets in NSW. Prices moved from $3,110,000 in 2024 to $3,565,000 in 2025, a 14.6% rise in one year. Monthly mortgage repayments average $3,000, producing a mortgage-to-income ratio of 26.1%, which stays below the 30% stress threshold despite the high purchase price, because household incomes sit in the 94.3rd percentile nationally. The stock is almost entirely separate houses at 98%, with 81.5% having four or more bedrooms, so buyers are typically purchasing large family homes rather than competing for compact stock.

For Investors
Annangrove is a low-yield, capital-growth market. Weekly rent averages $500, which against a $3,200,000 median implies a gross yield well below 1%. The renter share is just 11.2%, one of the lowest in NSW, with owner-occupiers dominating tenure. Vacancy sits at 5.1%, which is elevated for a rental market this thin, suggesting rental demand is limited. Development activity recorded 19 applications in the past 12 months, mostly dwelling alterations and dual-occupancy proposals rather than new subdivisions. The 14.6% annual price growth from 2024 to 2025 is the main investment argument, though it rests on the suburb's ultra-luxury positioning rather than yield or rental demand. Investors should expect long hold periods and tenant scarcity compared to higher-density suburbs.

Demographics
The resident population of 1,472 skews mature and Anglo-Australian. The median age of 44 is 4 years above the national average.

Overseas-born residents account for 17.1% of the population, which is 4.5 percentage points below the national figure, reinforcing the suburb's Anglo-leaning character. University qualifications reach 31.2%, placing Annangrove 1.1 points above the national rate. Average household size of 3.5 is 1.0 above national, consistent with the dominance of large family homes and couples-with-children households (469 families vs 304 couples without children).

Tenure
The housing stock in Annangrove is homogeneous in a way few suburbs are. Separate houses account for 98% of all dwellings, and 81.5% of those have four or more bedrooms. Only 2% are apartments, compared to Sydney-wide averages where apartments make up the majority of urban growth. Ownership is firmly established: 49.6% own outright, 39.2% are paying a mortgage, and only 11.2% rent, a renter share far below state and national norms. The median house price rose 14.6% from $3,110,000 to $3,565,000 between 2024 and 2025. Rent-to-income sits at 18.9%, below the 25% stress threshold, though the small rental pool means landlords face a thin market. Mortgage-to-income at 26.1% is manageable relative to the 94.3rd-percentile household incomes in this suburb.

Economy & Employment
Construction is the dominant industry in Annangrove at 26.1% of employed residents (133 workers), a share far above the national construction average of around 9%, likely reflecting the suburb's proximity to Sydney's north-western growth corridor and a resident base of owner-operators in trades and development. Education follows at 13.4% (68 workers) and Professional/Technical Services at 10.4% (53 workers). By occupation, Managers (148) and Professionals (130) are the top two groups, consistent with a workforce concentrated in high-autonomy roles. The full-time employment rate is 58.8% and unemployment is 4.1%. Participation at 54.6% is modest, partly because the mature median age of 44 leaves a significant share of residents (432) outside the labour force.

Transport to Work
Annangrove is almost entirely car-dependent. Vehicle use for commuting reaches 91.6%, and public transport use is not recorded in the dataset, pointing to limited transit access on the suburban fringe 10.25 km2 from the nearest urban centre. Walking or cycling accounts for 3.5% of travel. There are no schools recorded within the suburb boundary, so families depend on schools in neighbouring areas. The suburb has no recorded crime data, and SEIFA disadvantage scores are not available for this small population, but the 94.3rd-percentile household income and 49.6% outright ownership rate are strong proxies for a low-disadvantage area. Rent-to-income at 18.9% and mortgage-to-income at 26.1% are both within comfortable thresholds relative to national benchmarks.

Is Annangrove good for property investment?
The investment case is capital growth over yield. Weekly rent of $500 against a $3,200,000 median gives a gross yield well under 1%, and the renter share is just 11.2%, far below average. However, prices rose 14.6% in one year from $3,110,000 to $3,565,000. With vacancy at 5.1% and a thin rental pool, investors need long horizons.

The median age of 44 is 4 years above the national figure, indicating a maturing, established community rather than one drawing new arrivals.
How to read these comparisons
Phrases like "above the national average" reference the unweighted median across Australian suburbs with more than 1,000 residents, not population-weighted national figures. Suburb-level medians are more useful for ranking suburbs against each other; ABS census headlines are population-weighted (so dominated by Sydney and Melbourne) and can read very differently.
Current baseline (refreshed 2026-05-10): median age 40, university-educated 30.1%, born overseas 21.6%, average household size 2.5 people.
Data sources: ABS 2021 Census (demographics, income, tenure), state Valuer-General (house prices), Department of Jobs SALM (unemployment), ACARA (school ICSEA), state Crime Statistics agencies (offences), council DA portals (development applications). Population forecasts use a Hamilton-Perry cohort model calibrated to ABS ERP.
