Cambridge Park, NSW 2747

Quiet, family-oriented post-war suburb about 53 km west of the Sydney CBD in the City of Penrith LGA, part of Greater Western Sydney. Developed mainly in the 1950s, its streets run at right angles to each other — unlike the curving layouts of the newer suburbs to the north — with mostly fibro houses on quarter-acre blocks. At the 2021 census it had 7,054 residents, 76.4% born in Australia (next most common: England 2.7% and New Zealand 2.0%), 80.7% speaking only English at home and an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of 8.8%. It sits between the Kingswood education and health hub to the south and the newer estates to the north, and agents and market analysts describe a tightly-held market with strong recent price growth.

At a Glance

Transport

Cambridge Park has no railway station — the T1 Western Line runs just south of the suburb, with Kingswood station (opened 1887, about 52.7 km from Central) directly across the boundary in Kingswood and Werrington station nearby. The suburb is bus-serviced: Busways route 785 runs 'Werrington to Penrith via Cambridge Park', and Kingswood station is also served by the N70 NightRide service to the city. By car, Penrith and Kingswood are each only a few minutes away.

Schools

Cambridge Park Public School — NSW government primary (K–6), one of the suburb's two government schools (NSW Department of Education). Cambridge Park High School — NSW government comprehensive co-educational secondary school (Years 7–12) on Harrow Road in Cambridge Park (NSW Department of Education). In neighbouring Cambridge Gardens (gazetted 1981, directly adjacent to the north-west), Cambridge Gardens Public School was established in 1978 and effectively named the suburb — the second primary school in the old Cambridge Park area.

Universities

No university campus sits inside Cambridge Park itself, but Western Sydney University's Penrith campus lies immediately across the suburb's boundaries: the main Kingswood site (entrances from Second Avenue and O'Connell Street, Kingswood) plus the Werrington North and Werrington South sites — Kingswood and Werrington both directly border Cambridge Park.

Shopping & Amenities

Cambridge Park is largely residential with a modest local shop strip (including premises along Cambridge Street) serving daily needs. Kingswood Park Village Shopping Centre is about a three-minute walk from parts of the suburb's southern edge in neighbouring Kingswood (gonest.com.au listing), and Nepean Hospital — Kingswood's major public hospital — is about a five-minute drive away (gonest.com.au). Penrith's larger retail and civic centre sits in the adjacent suburb of Penrith a few minutes' drive to the west.

Parks & Outdoors

Cambridge Park is an established 1950s suburb of quarter-acre blocks and right-angled streets, with local parks and reserves including Werrington Creek Park and Jim Anderson Park among the neighbourhood amenities. Werrington Creek runs along the suburb's eastern and southern fringe, with creek-line parkland continuing into neighbouring Werrington, where Werrington Lake Reserve sits on the creek (Century 21; Donna's Flower Shop suburb notes).

Property Market

The median house price in Cambridge Park was around ~$1.01M–$1.12M depending on tracker (mid-2026): proplo's median of NSW Valuer General settled sales is $1,010,000 (+12.2% YoY, 138 sales in 12 months); propertyscoutau cites a 2026 median of about $1,120,000; HtAG's 'typical price' is $1,135,000 (+13.1% YoY). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. Trackers cluster the house median around $1.01M–$1.14M, with strong momentum: proplo shows +12.2% YoY and HtAG +13.1% YoY on its typical price. HtAG describes Cambridge Park as a tightly-held, supply-constrained house market — 2.16% vacancy, ~2.15 months of inventory (below the ~3-month balanced threshold) and stock-on-market of 0.35% — with 138 settled house sales in the 12 months to Jun 2026. Note: proplo's page header mislabels the LGA as Blacktown, but Cambridge Park is in Penrith City Council. Housing stock is predominantly 1950s fibro on quarter-acre blocks in a grid layout, giving scope for renovation and knock-down-rebuild infill close to Kingswood's university and hospital precinct.

New Developments

Cambridge Park is an established suburb with a limited development pipeline — HtAG classifies it as a tightly-held, long-hold capital-growth market with supply-constrained buyer pressure, ~2.15 months of inventory and just 0.35% of stock on market. Rather than new estates, activity centres on the renovation and infill redevelopment of the suburb's 1950s fibro quarter-acre blocks — sales of recently redeveloped homes reached $1.09M–$1.41M on streets like William Street and Breyley Road in late 2025 (proplo recent settled sales). Continued growth pressure comes from the broader north Penrith corridor, including the Waterside and Jordan Springs estates bordering neighbouring Cranebrook.

Jobs & Local Economy

Education is a major local employer: Cambridge Park Public School and Cambridge Park High School serve the suburb, and Western Sydney University's Penrith campus — with its main Kingswood site and Werrington North/South sites in suburbs that directly border Cambridge Park — employs a large academic and professional workforce minutes away (NSW Department of Education; Western Sydney University). Health is the other anchor: Nepean Hospital, Kingswood's major public hospital, is about a five-minute drive from Cambridge Park (gonest.com.au). Retail and local services are spread across the Cambridge Park shops, Kingswood Park Village and Penrith's commercial centre, and many residents commute to Penrith CBD or along the M4 corridor to jobs further east.
