Sydney’s $500k Frontier
The last four suburbs where you can buy a 3-bedroom home under half a million dollars.
< 1 min
Sydney’s exploding house prices and subsequent affordability issues are certainly no secret.
And while the median house price is well north of the million-dollar mark, there are still three-bedroom apartments available in Sydney’s outer reaches for less than half that.
Property settlement data from PropTech Group revealed three-bedders were selling under $500,000 in the western suburbs of Mount Druitt, Carramar, Berala and Ingleburn.
A property of less than $500,000 is significant as it means the buyer can afford the purchase with an annual income of just under $60,000 with a 20% deposit at hand.
Of course, with Sydney’s overheated market still in play, the cheaper deals for three-bedroom units don’t last long, settling nearly a week quicker than the Sydney average in the third quarter of 2021.
Going up a bedroom size to four-bedrooms is a less viable option. Only two four-bedroom apartments settled under $1m in the greater Sydney area throughout the third quarter of 2021. Both in Hurstville, selling for $900,000 and $925,00 respectively.

Perched on a sun-drenched 563sqm block, the newly renovated residence combines elegance with functionality, making it the ultimate entertainer’s retreat.
Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the open-plan living and dining areas lead out to a sunlit alfresco zone with a swimming pool. “It’s where we spend most of our time, whether we’re hosting friends or relaxing with family,” says the owner. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors maximise the natural light and offer views of the beautifully landscaped backyard.
At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen equipped with premium Bosch and Siemens appliances, including two 900mm ovens, two dishwashers, and a gas wok with dual extraction fans.
Upstairs, the four spacious bedrooms offer plenty of privacy. The master suite is a true retreat with a luxurious ensuite and custom-built wardrobes. Two other bedrooms feature their own ensuites, while a home office and gym complete the upper level. Convenience is key, with lift access to both floors, a remote-controlled garage with internal access, and off-street parking for three cars.
The home is packed with modern features like Daikin ducted air-conditioning with room-specific controls, rain-sensor skylights and CCTV. Sustainability is also a priority, with 48 solar roof panels and a Tesla 2.5kw solar edge inverter reducing the home’s environmental impact.
Located a short stroll from Rodney Reserve and local favourite Archies Café Co., the house is close to prestigious schools, Rose Bay village, and the iconic Bondi Beach. It’s the perfect blend of convenience and tranquillity, offering a family-friendly neighbourhood while being just minutes away from Sydney’s finest attractions.
