The suburb sits at an elevation of around 108 metres and has a population of approximately 4,429 residents as of the 2021 census. With a median household income above the national average, Glen Alpine is considered a comfortable, middle-class suburb within the broader Campbelltown area.
Glen Alpine offers a peaceful lifestyle centred around its parklands, golf course, and bush reserves. Nearby Campbelltown's Macarthur Square provides major retail and dining options, while Campbelltown city centre offers healthcare, education, and government services. The suburb is popular with families and owner-occupiers who value quiet streets, good school catchments, and access to green space. With reasonable freeway access to the Hume Highway and Campbelltown train station just minutes away, it appeals to commuters seeking suburban tranquillity without sacrificing city connectivity.
