Hamersley is a very family friendly suburb - located 12 km to Perth and 6km to the beach
Very reasonably priced for the growing family. Lots of parks and close to Warwick Shopping Centres. My own children grew up in Hamersley - fabulous primary schools.
Contact me if I can assist you in your search for the right property for your needs
I look forward to being of assistance

how can 6Km be close to the beach. Don't you mean 6 minutes?

Duncraig, Carine. Hamersley, Warwick or Greenwood are good options, all are close to Hillarys boat harbour (great spot for kids) or 15 mins to Scarborough, Whitfords or Mullaloo. There are lots of good public and private schools in these areas.

Wembley Downs has it all location wise. Close proximity to great schools, shops, parks and Floret and City Beach. A great lifestyle suburb with a good smattering of retro houses on large family blocks. A home in this suburb will give you a Western Suburbs address with all the embellishments at an affordable price.

Suburb has Lots of Parks & Reserves & Public Transport Bus Options! With lots of Private Schools & close by Shopping Centre! This is the Ideal Location!

Ballajurra is a hidden gem especially now that there is a new police station near Woolworths in Belfin.

Greenwood and Warwick would be my recommendations, with an outside shot on Kingsway.

From Fremantle pick anywhere straight up or down. As far north as hillarys and as far south as Coogee. and dont go more than 2-3 km inland.

Perth is VERY slow to develop. I've lived here a long time and its essentially frozen in time. Dont expect your 'suburb' to improve after 30 years. Most of them have been getting slowly worse.

Essentially you want to stay away from anything east of the freeway and south of roe highway. and north of hillarys. With in a 2 min drive from the coast. Otherwise, its a heat stricken dog box life in Perth. All the land is owned by someone else and there are billions of layers of red tape. Every man woman and dog wants a cut if you try to develop the area and anything new or different is shunned upon.

Move here to work but don't expect to 'live' here

Northern suburbs from Quinns to Two Rocks. There are a lot of new housing developments happening, and close to the beach.
