The southern bend of the Swan: Applecross and Mount Pleasant hold the water-view houses and the new towers at Canning Bridge; Booragoon has Garden City, one of the city's biggest malls. This is the southern take on blue-chip — established families, big backyards, sought-after schools.
Good for
- Families focused on schools
- River views and access
- Working in the city from the south
Watch out
Blue-chip prices and heavy Canning Highway traffic at every peak.
Getting around
