Darch, WA 6065

Darch is one of the best liveable areas in Perth. Safe, close to the finest beaches in Perth. Close to swan valley and CBD. In general, it’s close to everywhere. I love this area.

I lived in Darch for seven years. I found it’s one of the best and safest areas in Perth. Also great in terms of shopping, schools, transport , beaches especially Scarborough, Mindarie, Hillary’s, and close to CBD Perth. Actually it’s close to everywhere

A group of streets located next to a busy intersection with modern but poorly designed houses sat right next to eachother, these houses were made for the lower economic class and it shows. Have had a crackhead neighbour jump our fence and steal clothes, shoes multiple times. Once knocking on our front door at 2 am high on drugs and shouting at something. Have had another neighbour party with their garage door open and play music throughout the night every weekend. There has also been a drive by shooting on this street (and another in another part of darch).

Nice, quiet area, and an excellent location facility wise for an outer city suburb. Has two bus services going to Whitfords and Warwick stations plus several shopping centres close by. You get good deals for houses with more land for your money (we moved from Tuart Hill). Would recommend.

Darch pros are heaps of parks and being a fairly new suburb all the homes look nice and new, schools seem to be ok, easy access from Hepburn avenue to the beach, good parks for the dogs and kids. unfortunately thats about where it ends. this suburb seems to be on the news a fair bit lately for crime related happenings and there are teenage hoons around at night. Not many decent restaurants around, and the shopping choice is very limited.

Darch is an ideal place for families with kids. With quick access to schools, child care & shopping.
Darch has housing for any type of families whether you need a small 2 by 1 or a spacious 4 by 2 Darch will provide for all needs.

After much research we chose Darch to build our new family home. We wanted to build in a suburb that was relativley new, family friendly, had a good choice of schools within walking distance, nice parks and recreational facilities and close shopping facilities. We have now lived here for just over a year and it has lived up to everything we had hoped for. We have lovely neighbours, our street is very quiet. We are not too close to the tavern so we only get local traffic on our street. All our neighbours take great pride with their gardens and houses. Darch plaza has all your shopping conveniences and the Tavern is a nice place to eat out or catch up with friends and family. We are very happy with our move to Darch.

We have lived in darch for 3 years.. We chose to build in Darch as we wanted to build in a newer area that was family friendly, had a good choice of schools, great parks and recreational facilities, not too far from the city (only 16km), only a short drive to the freeway and was still close to the beach without the pricetag of some of the newer coastal suburbs. With the opening of Darch Plaza and The Tavern we now have everything at our doorstep.. We love living and raising a family in Darch.

We have lived in darch for 5 years. We have always found it to be a very safe and homely suburb with a great neighbourly spirit.
It has wonderful parks and gardens and many walking and cycle paths. Over the years we have watched it develop into a thriving little suburb with a good choice of schools, medical facilities and with the opening of Darch Plaza and the Tavern we now have a great little shopping center and nice pub within minutes of us..It is a nice place to live and raise a family..

We moved to Darch a year ago after researching and visiting suburbs all over Perth. The atmosphere in Darch is neighbourly and family friendly. Darch is not a "dress circle" suburb but offers a solid family experience with a choice of schools, excellent sporting facilities, parks and shopping. We go out walking the dog most evenings and have concreted walkways all the way. The council keep public spaces neat and tidy and in our area (Ashdale Gardens) people have pride in their properties and gardens and maintain them well. We do get a hoon or two over the weekends as we live close to the Kingsway Bistro and Tavern but talking to people from other areas of Perth, it is probably better than most. We enjoy living in Darch and being able to walk to school and the shops makes it very convenient too. By road, you can be in the city in about 35 minutes by car if you stay away from the Mitchell Freeway and you can get to the airport in about 25 minutes.
