Accommodation in Perth


The most expensive area in which to live in Perth is also the most central and convenient. St Georges Terrace (also known as The Terrace) is close to the CBD, historic buildings and the top 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 Roads 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 $460,000, with prices ranging from a whopping $3.5 million in Peppermint Grove to a move affordable $285,000 in fringe suburbs such as Medina and Alexander Heights.
