Forest Glen ^{NSW 2157}

The median house sale price in Forest Glen sits at $2.58 million in the December 2025 quarter, broadly flat year-on-year. That said, only one sale settled in the quarter, so the median is a noisy signal — treat it as a direction rather than a level. Zoom out: prices have climbed roughly 146% over the past decade — 10.5% per year on average.

Aboriginal Land Council

Aboriginal land in this area is administered by the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council.

Local Aboriginal Land Councils are statutory bodies under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983, responsible for land claims and land management for their members. Their boundaries are administrative and are not a statement of whose Country this is. NSW does not publish a register of Aboriginal parties by area — they are registered for each project.
