Accommodation in Perth


The most expensive areas to live in Perth are consequently the most central and convenient.

St Georges Terrace (also known as The Terrace) is at the top of the list with close proximity to the CBD, a handful of historic buildings and a fantastic shopping area.

The most popular area with expats, however, is probably Northbridge; a relatively new area with a wide range of accommodation options, from rental semi-detached units to expansive homes.

In the northern part of the city, Warwick Road has a genteel, family atmosphere that attracts affluent middle-class expats.

West Perth has a good range of historic homes and a thriving business district.

Another option is nearby Fremantle, a picturesque (though pricey) town on the coast around an hour from Perth city centre.

The average house price is AUD 460,000, and the range can vacillate from a whopping AUD 3.5 million in Peppermint Grove to a more affordable AUD 285,000 in fringe suburbs such as Medina and Alexander Heights.
