North Wollongong is a NSW suburb in Wollongong LGA, matched to postcode 2500 — also covering Coniston, Gwynneville, Keiraville and nearby localities. New rental bonds in that postcode had a median weekly rent of $640 in 2025, up 6.7% from $600 in 2024. That is about 8% below the NSW median of $695. Bond medians describe new lodgements with Fair Trading, not every current lease in the suburb. North Wollongong recorded 534 criminal incidents in the 12 months to March 2026, up 26.8% from 421 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 $700 a week and flats/units at $600. Townhouse bonds sat at $730 a week. Two-bedroom bonds had a median of $600; three-bedroom bonds $750. One-bedroom bonds sat at $460 a week. Four-bedroom bonds sat at $900 a week. Half of new bonds sat between $525 and $750 a week. Fair Trading recorded 2,946 new bonds in the postcode in 2025. Over 2021–2025 the postcode median moved from $460 to $640 a week. Because several suburbs share the postcode, the rent charts are a postcode picture, not a street-level one. Transport regulatory offences were 189 (35% of the total); excluding them, the count is 345. Fare and parking enforcement can move that category independently of neighbourhood property or violent crime.
