Concord, NSW 2137

Established, leafy riverside suburb about 10 km west of the Sydney CBD in the City of Canada Bay LGA, known as 'The Parkland Suburb' — a nickname displayed on its entrance sign. At the 2021 census it had 14,551 residents (median age 43), with a pronounced Italian-Australian heritage: 22.2% reported Italian ancestry and Italy (5.8%) was the leading overseas birthplace. Suburb profiles describe a settled, family-oriented community on a river peninsula with substantial character and post-war homes on good-sized blocks, drawing buyers priced out of Canada Bay and Cabarita (stmate suburb profile).

At a Glance

Transport

Concord has no railway station inside its own boundaries; the suburb is served by two stations in immediately adjacent suburbs — Concord West and North Strathfield — both on the T9 Northern Line, about 14 km from Central, and roughly 1.5 km from Concord's core. Six bus routes operate through Concord (Transit Systems): 410 (Hurstville–Marsfield via Burwood), 458 (Burwood–Ryde), 464 (Mortlake–Ashfield), 466 (Cabarita–Burwood via Bayview Park), 502 (Cabarita to the City via Victoria Road) and 526 (school service). Sydney Ferries' F3 Parramatta River service stops at Cabarita Wharf on the suburb's river edge, in immediately adjacent Cabarita.

Schools

Concord Public School — NSW government primary school on Burwood Road (established 1890s; the suburb's main public primary). Concord High School — NSW government comprehensive secondary school on Stanley Street. St Mary's Primary School — Catholic systemic primary school. Mortlake Public School — the government primary serving the Mortlake peninsula, physically located on Brays Road in Concord just over the boundary from Mortlake (Good Schools Guide; SchoolMyKids).

Shopping & Amenities

The main shopping village runs along Majors Bay Road — cafes, restaurants, a Coles Local, post office, medical centre and other local businesses. A second, smaller strip at Cabarita Junction on Cabarita Road (corner of Mortlake Street and Brays Road) has cafes and restaurants on the way to Breakfast Point. Concord Repatriation General Hospital — a major public teaching hospital of Sydney Local Health District on Hospital Road in the suburb's north — is the area's largest facility, with a new clinical services building opened in 2022 (SLHD; NSW Health Infrastructure). Heritage landmarks include St Mary's Catholic Church on Parramatta Road (present church completed 1929), St Luke's Anglican Church near Concord Oval, and the riverfront Yaralla Estate with its two heritage-listed convalescent mansions.

Parks & Outdoors

Concord's nickname 'The Parkland Suburb' reflects one of Sydney's leafier suburb park networks: Queen Elizabeth Park (formerly Concord Park, reserved 1887 and renamed after Queen Elizabeth II's 1954 royal visit), Henley Park, and Majors Bay Reserve — the start of the Concord Foreshore Trail — plus Concord Golf Course, Massey Park, Cintra Park, Concord Oval, Sid Richards Park and smaller reserves including Bayview, Edwards, Greenlees, Rothwell, Goddard, St Lukes and Central parks. Concord's eastern edge fronts Hen & Chicken Bay and Majors Bay of the Parramatta River, with foreshore reserves and the disused Bayview Park ferry wharf site on the bay. Canada Bay Council is planning the 'Concord Parklands Corridor' linking the big sporting parks and has opened a new official nature trail from Queen Elizabeth Park to Edwards Park (Inside Local Government; National Tribune).

Property Market

The median house price in Concord was around ~$3.2M — median house price $3,191,250 over the last 12 months (NSW Valuer General sales data via AusPropertyFinder, 2026), down 4.7% on the prior year; other 2026 trackers put the median around $2.9M–$3.3M depending on method (stmate typical 3-bed median $2.91M; PropertyScout $3.0M; propertygo 24-month $3.3M) (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. An established, land-rich suburb of larger blocks and character homes in an inner-west family market: 2021 census population 14,551, houses ~63% of stock (dominant dwelling type), median age 43 (ABS via stmate/AusPropertyFinder). House/unit price gap is wide — about $2.1M–2.4M between the ~$2.9–3.2M house median and ~$0.8M unit median — reflecting the premium the market places on Concord's blocks (stmate). Typical house range: entry ~$1.59M, premium ~$3.92M; 59 house sales recorded in the past year, ~64 days on market (stmate). Median land value is $2.31M across 1,407 properties (NSW Valuer General, 2025 base year, via AusPropertyFinder). Tracker medians vary between roughly $2.9M and $3.3M for 2025–26 depending on sales window and method (stmate; AusPropertyFinder; PropertyScout; propertygo).

New Developments

Concord Hospital precinct — the $341 million Concord Hospital Redevelopment's new clinical services building on Hospital Road opened in 2022, and NSW Health continues to invest in the campus, the suburb's defining institution. Riverside infill — plans have been floated to return private ferry services to the disused Bayview Park wharf as part of a redevelopment of a factory site in eastern Concord. Open space planning — Canada Bay Council is developing the Concord Parklands Corridor masterplan across Queen Elizabeth, Edwards, Greenlees, Rothwell and associated parks, and recently delivered a new nature trail from Queen Elizabeth Park to Edwards Park (Inside Local Government; National Tribune). The balance of activity is modest, owner-occupier-driven infill (houses and townhouses) rather than high-rise development (stmate).

Jobs & Local Economy

Concord Repatriation General Hospital (Sydney Local Health District) is the suburb's anchor employer — a major inner-west public teaching hospital campus whose new clinical services building opened in 2022 as part of a $341 million redevelopment (SLHD; NSW Health Infrastructure). Retail, hospitality and local services along Majors Bay Road and at Cabarita Junction make up the other main local employment base. Many residents commute to the Sydney CBD, Parramatta and the Rhodes/Strathfield employment corridor; the AM-peak public transport commute to Central runs about 34 minutes.
