Clemton Park, NSW 2206

Clemton Park is a small, almost entirely residential suburb about 13 km south-west of the Sydney CBD in the City of Canterbury-Bankstown. It is one of Sydney's smallest suburbs — at the 2021 census it had just 1,676 residents, 57.3% born in Australia, with the biggest migrant communities from China (7.5%), Greece (7.3%) and Lebanon (2.9%), and family households making up 74.9% of households. It grew from an 1804 land grant and the locality name was approved by Canterbury Council in 1925, and today it is a quiet, tightly held pocket of post-war houses on 400–650 m² blocks selling around $1.6–2.0M, increasingly rebuilt or replaced by modern homes. Agents describe a supply-constrained market with very little on the market at any one time — stock on market of 0.18% and a 0.61% vacancy rate in HtAG Analytics' suburb data.

At a Glance

Transport

Clemton Park has no railway station — the suburb's name itself grew from a 1920s campaign to extend a tram line from Earlwood, and public transport today is bus-based. Bus routes run along the roads that frame the suburb — Kingsgrove Road, Bexley Road and William Street — with stops in the immediately adjoining streets of Earlwood and Campsie. The nearest train stations sit just across the borders: Campsie and Belmore stations about 1.5–2 km north sit on the former Bankstown railway line corridor, closed since 2024 for conversion to the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project (construction continuing through 2026, with customers on rail-replacement buses in the interim), while Kingsgrove station on the T8 East Hills line is immediately south across Kingsgrove Road.

Schools

There is no school within Clemton Park's own boundaries — the suburb is almost entirely residential. The suburb's namesake school, Clemton Park Public School, is a NSW government primary school at 185 Bexley Road in the immediately adjacent suburb of Earlwood, right on Clemton Park's border. High-school students typically travel to the government and independent high schools of the surrounding suburbs that border Clemton Park — Belmore, Canterbury and Kingsgrove among them.

Shopping & Amenities

Clemton Park itself has no shops within its boundaries — almost all of the retail named after the suburb sits just across its borders. A small group of shops at the Bexley Road and William Street intersection is in neighbouring Earlwood, Clemton Park Shopping Village lies mostly within Campsie, and Campsie's main shopping strip along Beamish Street — roughly 1.6 km of shops and businesses, an administrative centre of Canterbury-Bankstown Council — is directly adjacent.

Parks & Outdoors

Within the suburb proper is the small Yatama Park, with the Campsie South Bowling and Recreation Club beside it. The eponymous Clemton Park reserve — a Canterbury-Bankstown Council park on Moorefields Road with play equipment and open space — sits just over the border in neighbouring Kingsgrove, immediately adjacent to the suburb. Cup and Saucer Creek, a Cooks River tributary, runs along the suburb's edge toward Earlwood, providing a tree-lined green corridor close by.

Property Market

The median house price in Clemton Park was around ~$1.83M (2026 trackers cluster between $1.80M and $1.94M: proplo $1,800,000 median of NSW Valuer General settled sales, +1.8% YoY, updated Jun 2026; auspropertyfinder $1.83M over last 12 months, +4.3%; buyer's agent Andrea Monti data $1,941,000, Aug 2026) (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. Clemton Park is a genuinely small, tight market: proplo records just 11 settled house sales in 12 months (38 in three years), with 2025 house sales on post-war blocks of 411–645 m² ranging $1.34M–$2.0M (e.g. 93 Bexley Rd $1.62M, 11 Tasker Ave $1.875M, 54 Chisholm Ave $2.0M) — a classic knock-down-rebuild and family-suburb market (proplo). HtAG Analytics flags extreme supply constraints (stock on market 0.18%, vacancy 0.61%). Note the handful of unit sales skew the unit median high because they are mostly new large apartments at 29 Alfred Street; there are very few older flats in the suburb.

New Developments

Infill is modest but steady in this fully built-out, tightly held suburb: recent development has been small apartment and townhouse projects such as the new units at 29 Alfred Street (units selling around $1.34M in 2025, proplo) and individual knock-down rebuilds of post-war cottages — 54 Chisholm Ave sold for $2.0M and 21 Jarrett St for $1.92M in 2025 as renewed family homes (proplo settled-sale records). HtAG Analytics characterises Clemton Park as a supply-constrained house market with stock on market of just 0.18%, which is what drives its infill activity.

Jobs & Local Economy

Clemton Park is essentially residential, so most residents commute out of the suburb to work — to the Sydney CBD and other centres by bus and train, or to retail and professional jobs in the surrounding Canterbury-Bankstown centres. Local employment anchors just across the suburb borders include Campsie's retail strip along Beamish Street and Canterbury Hospital, a major public hospital on Canterbury Road in adjacent Campsie that is the area's big health employer (Kiddle; MyHospitalNow).
