How much does it cost to buy the most expensive houses in Sydney's cheapest suburbs?
It’s no secret that Sydney is well-known for its eye-watering real estate prices but for buyers who venture further to the western suburbs, even the most expensive homes cost significantly less than the city’s median house price.
The median house price in Sydney is currently $1,578,099, according to Domain data, but in suburbs like Lethbridge Park, Oxley Park and Whalan, median prices start at just $650,000.
Even better, listings on Domain reveal the most expensive houses currently on the market are only half to two-thirds of Sydney’s median.
Take a look at some of the most expensive listings in Sydney’s cheapest suburbs – all of which are well below what you’re likely to pay for even the cheapest houses closer to Sydney’s CBD.
Located more than 40.5 kilometres west of Sydney’s CBD is Lethbridge Park. With a median of $650,000, it is the most affordable suburb in which to buy a house.
At the time of publication, the most expensive house on the market is 18 Luzon Avenue, which has a price guide of $849,000.
Spanning 575 square metres, the home boasts manicured gardens, a large backyard, and an open living and dining area with an updated kitchen. A bonus is a garage that can easily convert to a workshop or a teenagers’ retreat.
Oxley Park, also in Sydney’s west, has a median of $674,250. The highest-priced property on the market is 3 Carne Place, with a price guide of $879,000 to $929,000.
Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, the three-bedroom property sits on 613 square metres of land and features spacious living and dining spaces, a renovated bathroom and an undercover entertaining space for those who like to play host.
But if you want to build a new property, the home also offers R3 zoning opportunities, where multi-dwelling housing is encouraged or allowed.
Just eight minutes from Oxley Park is Whalan with a median house price of $675,000. Another 10 minutes from there is Werrington at $675,625.
To round out the top five is Mount Druitt with a median of $680,000. According to Domain listings, the most expensive property on the market there is 44 Ropes Creek Road, which has a price guide of $1.1 million to $1.15 million.
The two-storey home has oversized living and dining spaces, a beautiful kitchen with marble splashback and spacious bedrooms.
In St Marys, the median sits at $693,000 and the most expensive property on the market has a price guide of $1.1 million to $1.17 million.
The residence at 42 and 42A Adams Crescent has five bedrooms and a two-bedroom granny flat at the rear. The main residence has a new bathroom and modern appliances – including a dishwasher – solar panels and air-conditioning.
Built less than a year ago, the granny flat has a laundry, storage and its own entrance. Used as an income stream, it has a $450 per week asking price.
The seventh suburb on the list, Kingwood, has a median of $715,000. It is followed by Rosemeadow in the city’s south-west at $740,000.

Rounding out the top 10 cheapest ‘burbs is Cambridge Park with a $750,000 median house price. The priciest property there is 10 Francis Street, with an asking price of $1.1 million.
The five-bedroom, two-storey house is set on 650 square metres of land. Inside are high ceilings, panelled walls and plenty of windows allowing in a wealth of natural light.
A personal favourite is the backyard. It has plenty of green spaces for the kids to run wild plus a pool with an adjacent shed that could act as a teenager’s retreat, games room or office.
