Harrington Park suburb profile

Harrington Park is a south-west Sydney suburb in the Macarthur area that grew from pastoral land into a family-focused residential enclave. It is characterised by modern brick homes on generous blocks, curving streets and pockets of parkland, playgrounds and sports fields that give the neighbourhood a suburban yet semi-rural feel. Daily needs are met by a village-style shopping precinct and local community facilities, while larger retail and services are close by in neighbouring Narellan and Camden. With convenient road links to regional centres and outlooks over paddocks and remnant bushland, it appeals to households seeking space and a quieter lifestyle.

  • Is it expensive to live in Harrington Park?

    A house in Harrington Park rents for about $850 a week. Against the suburb's median household income of $3,014 a week at the last Census, that rent would take about 28.2% of a typical local household's weekly income, a moderate share.

    Buying looks much more stretched by comparison: the median house price of $1,790,000 is about 11.4 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census, which sits well above local incomes. On these figures, renting appears less stretched against local incomes than buying.

    Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
