Average rent in Croydon, NSW — 2026

Croydon sits close to the New South Wales median, with renters typically paying $460/week — within striking distance of the state-wide $424/week baseline (ABS Census 2021). The suburb is largely owner-occupied: 65% of households own outright or with a mortgage, and only 32% rent. Housing stock is dominated by separate houses (57%), giving the suburb a settled, family-oriented character that's reflected in the median age of 41 and a population of around 10,993. The most common occupation is Professionals, and 46% of residents were born overseas. 9km from Sydney, Croydon is the kind of mid-market suburb that usually sees stable rent trajectories rather than rapid spikes — though state rent indices since 2021 are worth checking against your reported figure above.
