Perth suburbs to consider for your next move

Perth offers inner neighbourhoods and established residential areas on both sides of the Swan River. Use these ten areas as a starting shortlist, then compare actual homes and the trips you make each week. The order is not a liveability ranking.

Ten areas to investigate

Wembley, West Leederville and Glendalough

Compare these western and inner-northern options against the housing you need and the transport you would use. A station or shopping area nearby on a map is only useful if the full route works from the property.

North Perth

North Perth offers an inner-northern setting with local businesses and established residential streets. Visit at different times and consider parking, noise and the home’s layout.

Booragoon

Booragoon is a south-of-river option with a major shopping precinct. Check the route from the home to your regular destinations and compare the space and upkeep of suitable properties.

South Perth and Kensington

These neighbouring areas give you south-of-river options to compare. Consider whether you need the foreshore, local services or a particular work route most, and assess each address accordingly.

Mount Hawthorn and Leederville

Local shopping and dining streets are part of the appeal of these inner-northern areas. Compare the balance between access to activity and the noise or parking conditions around the home.

Bateman

Bateman offers an established residential setting south of the river. Check the exact school arrangements, transport access and services your household needs.

Bull Creek

Bull Creek is another southern residential option. Test the door-to-door commute rather than relying on the presence of a station or major road in the broader area.

Leeming

Leeming is worth comparing if you want a residential setting in Perth’s southern suburbs. Inspect the home and garden requirements and check travel to work, education and care.

Mount Lawley and Inglewood

These neighbouring areas combine established housing with local shopping and dining. Older homes may require careful checks of entrances, room sizes and furniture access.

Wembley Downs, Churchlands and Woodlands

These western residential areas offer several settings to investigate. Compare the specific home, school arrangements and travel requirements rather than assuming the group has uniform costs or services.

Compare the journey and the property

Use the Perth journey planner with the exact address and your usual travel times. Include the walk to stops and any transfers. Confirm school enrolment and other essential services directly, and compare current housing costs for homes that meet the same requirements.

Plan delivery to your new home

Once you have a likely address, send us your inventory, dates and access details. Tell us about stairs, lifts, loading restrictions and large furniture, and ask for packing or storage to be included if needed. Confirm the collection and delivery arrangements in your written quote. Call 1800 500 584 to discuss your move.

For a move to Perth, which Perth areas should I consider?

Start with the areas whose location and housing fit your routine: Wembley, West Leederville and Glendalough; North Perth; Booragoon; South Perth and Kensington; Mount Hawthorn and Leederville; Bateman; Bull Creek; Leeming; Mount Lawley and Inglewood; Wembley Downs, Churchlands and Woodlands. This is a shortlist of options, not a ranking or a promise that every property will suit you. Choose two or three areas to investigate against your budget, regular journeys and essential services.

How do I compare north- and south-of-river Perth homes?

Use your actual work and other regular destinations to compare the journeys. North Perth and Mount Hawthorn offer different settings from Booragoon, Bateman, Bull Creek or Leeming. Price suitable homes and the transport you would use together rather than choosing a side of the river before considering your routine.

What should I check around a Perth station?

Check the walk or connecting service from the exact home, the timetable for your travel times and the route at the other end. A suburb having a station nearby does not make every property convenient. If you plan to drive to public transport, investigate parking and include that arrangement in the comparison.

What should I investigate in Mount Lawley or Inglewood?

Compare access to local shopping and dining with the noise, parking and traffic around the property. For an older home, inspect room sizes, entrances and furniture access rather than relying on its character alone. Confirm the arrangements for schools or other services that are essential to your household.

How should I compare Wembley Downs, Churchlands and Woodlands?

Treat them as separate residential areas and investigate the actual homes available. Compare the same requirements for space, budget, education and regular travel in each. Check school arrangements for the exact address and visit the street before deciding; the grouped shortlist does not establish identical services or costs.

For a move to Perth, what information do you need for a removal quote?

Send us the collection and delivery addresses, inventory, preferred dates and the first day you can receive furniture. Describe stairs, lifts, parking, long carries and unusual items. Include packing, dismantling or storage in the requested scope. If details change after the quote, tell us so we can review the arrangements. For a move to Perth, keep any route-, service- or property-specific variation with the accepted written scope.
