That is about 6% below the NSW median of $695. Bond medians describe new lodgements with Fair Trading, not every current lease in the suburb. Castlereagh recorded 75 criminal incidents in the 12 months to March 2026, unchanged from 75 a year earlier. These are police-recorded incidents, not convictions, and they are not adjusted for how many people live or visit here. House bonds typically leased at $670 a week and flats/units at $450. Townhouse bonds sat at $610 a week. Two-bedroom bonds had a median of $500; three-bedroom bonds $638. Four-bedroom bonds sat at $775 a week. Half of new bonds sat between $578 and $750 a week. Fair Trading recorded 347 new bonds in the postcode in 2025. Over 2021–2025 the postcode median moved from $480 to $650 a week. Because several suburbs share the postcode, the rent charts are a postcode picture, not a street-level one. Property offences totalled 41 and violent-related offences 22. Theft made up the largest published share (30 incidents, 40%). Next was Assault (10). The crime series is coded to this suburb name; the rent series, where shown, is the whole postcode. The two windows are not identical: rents are calendar year, recorded crime is the 12 months to March 2026.
