Subdivided in the 1970s and 80s, these suburbs have what the new ones lack: mature trees, established schools and brick houses on generous blocks. This is genuinely quiet Perth — and one of the best trade-offs between price, space and train access.
Good for
- Families wanting space at mid prices
- Well-regarded public schools
- Daily train commuters
Watch out
