West Gosford (NSW 2250): property prices, streets & suburb profile

West Gosford house and unit prices

The median West Gosford house sold for $967,500 across the last 24 months; constant-quality growth is +63.0% over 10 years and +26.4% over 5 years.

• The headline growth figure uses a repeat-sales index of all dwellings (the same homes resold), which removes mix-of-what-sold noise; the tiles compare 12-month medians per dwelling type, so the two can differ, and differ widely where what sold changed.
• Unit medians are yearly because strata volumes are low; treat them as indicative.
• Quarters with fewer than three house sales are left off the chart; one sale does not make a market median.

West Gosford street by street

West Gosford has 36 streets with recorded sales in the last decade.

• A street needs at least 5 sales of a type in 10 years to get a median, so streets quieter than that are left out entirely.
• Sales that moved several properties on one dealing are left out, because the record repeats that dealing's whole price against every property in it.
• Prices are as-paid and not inflation-adjusted.

Rent in West Gosford by bedrooms

A 3-bedroom house rents for a median $700/wk.

• Bands with fewer than 10 bonds are hidden.
• Biggest 12-month move: 2-bedroom units +12.7% year on year.

• Figures labelled West Gosford are for the suburb boundary itself (ABS 2021 Census). Anything labelled SA2 or postcode covers a wider area: SA2 "Calga - Kulnura" and postcode 2250 both extend beyond West Gosford.
• SEIFA decile 1 is the lowest tenth of Australian areas on that index and 10 the highest. The four indices measure different things and often disagree, which is why all four are shown: a suburb can rank high on education and occupation while ranking mid on economic resources.

Bushfire, flood and planning in West Gosford

38.1% of West Gosford properties sit in a mapped bushfire-prone area; no flood mapping is available in our dataset for this suburb.

• Bushfire-prone land is the NSW RFS certified map; being inside it triggers extra building requirements, not a prediction of fire.
• Absence of flood mapping in our dataset is NOT evidence a property cannot flood: always order a council s10.7 certificate before buying.

Schools serving West Gosford

Most West Gosford homes fall in the Gosford Public School intake zone.

• ICSEA is ACARA's socio-educational index (average 1000). It describes the family backgrounds of the students enrolled, NOT how well a school teaches: a lower ICSEA means a less advantaged intake, not a worse school.
• Percentiles are ACARA's own national ranking, so the Australia bar is a published figure rather than our arithmetic. Each area shows the median of the mainstream schools sitting inside it; special schools are listed in the table but excluded from the medians.
• Catchments are NSW Department of Education intake zones; always confirm an address with the school.

Crime and safety around West Gosford

Break-ins, car theft and malicious damage run at 1,693 per 100,000 residents in postcode 2250, 12.7% above the NSW rate of 1,502.

• Counts are BOCSAR recorded incidents for January 2025 to December 2025 at LGA and postcode grain: both cover several suburbs, so they include neighbours of West Gosford.
• Rates divide incidents by resident population (ABS 2021 Census), so they are comparable between areas in a way raw counts are not. Every tier uses the same offences and the same 12 months for January 2025 to December 2025.
• Two limits worth knowing: the rate counts residents only, so a postcode with a town centre, nightlife strip or shopping precinct carries crime generated by visitors against a small resident denominator and reads high; and the population is the 2021 Census, so a suburb that has grown fast since then reads high too.
