About Caddens
Caddens is a fast-growing master-planned suburb in western Sydney, located approximately 53 kilometres from the Sydney CBD within the City of Penrith local government area. The suburb saw remarkable population growth from just 1,475 residents in 2016 to 3,487 in 2021, reflecting its status as part of Sydney's expanding outer-western corridor. The community is notably multicultural and family-oriented, with a strong Indian community (the third-largest ancestry group), a young median age of 33, and high average household sizes of 3.3 persons reflecting a preponderance of young families.
Caddens residents benefit from proximity to Penrith's major retail and commercial precinct, while the suburb itself features newer housing estates, parks, and local schools. Kingswood train station on the T1 Western Line is the closest rail connection, providing access to Parramatta and the Sydney CBD. The suburb's elevated position and relatively small footprint of 1.7 square kilometres give it a contained, neighbourhood feel. High mortgage repayments — a median of $2,817 per month — reflect the cost of newer housing stock in this growth corridor of Greater Sydney.
Caddens falls under postcode 2747 and is governed by Penrith Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Londonderry electorate.
