Constitution Hill is a smaller community of 4,030 — about 76% of the New South Wales suburb median (5,325) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Household income of $88,712/year is 9% below the New South Wales median of $97,552, typically translating into lower entry prices and a tenant base more sensitive to rent increases. Rent of $410/week (82% coverage of the $2,167/month median mortgage) leaves a gap of roughly $390/month that a typical investor bridges with negative gearing, depreciation and capital growth. 23 km from Sydney places Constitution Hill in the middle commuter belt, close enough for daily trips by car or rail but at a materially lower price point than inner suburbs. Only 59% of dwellings are separate houses (vs 76% state median), so this is a unit-heavy market where body-corporate decisions and strata supply meaningfully shape investor returns.
Middle-ring locations like this one historically reward patient holders — focus on homes near catchment-zone schools and major transport. Local rents consume roughly 24% of household income — a useful sanity check on tenant affordability.

The median monthly mortgage repayment in Constitution Hill is $2,167, or approximately $26,004/year (vs $2,167/month state median). Stress-test your own borrowing at rates 1–2 percentage points above today's to make sure you can still service the loan through an RBA tightening cycle.
A median weekly rent of $410 works out to $1,777/month, covering 82% of the median mortgage repayment of $2,167/month. That leaves a $390/month shortfall (around $4,680/year before tax benefits), so a typical owner-occupier-priced property here is negatively geared. Actual cash flow depends on your deposit, loan terms, ownership costs and marginal tax rate — run the full numbers in our rental yield calculator.
The main risks are a thin buyer pool (4,030 residents), interest-rate sensitivity on the $2,167 median mortgage, the broader New South Wales market cycle. Each of these is covered in the Risk Factors section above with suburb-specific numbers rather than generic warnings.
