This established residential area developed primarily during the 1970s and 1980s, offering affordable housing options in Perth's northern corridor with good connectivity to major employment centres.

    Property Market

    The suburb features predominantly brick and tile homes from the 1970s and 1980s, with three and four-bedroom family houses making up the majority of housing stock. Property values remain accessible compared to many Perth suburbs, attracting first-home buyers and investors seeking entry-level opportunities. The market has shown steady performance over recent years, benefiting from ongoing urban development in Perth's northern suburbs.

The area features several parks and recreational spaces, maintaining a family-friendly suburban atmosphere.

    Who Buys Here

    The suburb appeals strongly to young families and first-home buyers drawn to affordable housing and family-oriented amenities. Investors are attracted by the combination of reasonable entry prices and solid rental demand from working families and couples. The area's established nature and proximity to employment hubs make it popular with those seeking value in Perth's northern suburbs.

    Investment Outlook

    How to Research a Suburb

    Understanding the Numbers

    Median house price represents the middle sale in a period — not the average. Rental yield is annual rent divided by property value. Vacancy rate below 3% indicates strong tenant demand. Annual growth shows 12-month price change — not a guarantee of future performance.

    What to Research Before Buying

    Check council zoning and DA restrictions, flood and bushfire overlays on state planning portals, infrastructure pipeline (rail, roads, schools), employer concentration (single-industry suburbs carry higher risk), and auction clearance rates (above 70% signals a seller's market).
