Canning Vale, WA 6155

It’s very busy and in places you get the planes from Jandakot doing loop-de-loop. Dogs barking from the kennels. I wouldn’t recommend it at all. It’s over-rated.

Canning Vale is a very large suburb and your experience will vary depending on what pocket you are visiting/living in.

The areas built in the 90's and early 2000's are wonderful! Large family homes on family sized blocks, well maintained frontages, tree lined streets, ample beautiful parks/walking paths.

The newer built residential areas are the opposite. Small, cheap looking houses on small blocks, frontages not cared for.

Safe, good schools and amenities across the whole suburb though.

We were living in Brisbane for over 13 years and now bought a house near Perth Hindu Temple basically to move over to Perth by March 2022. I enquired through colleagues living in Perth before buying the house in that suburb.

I lived here in two separate houses, quite quiet family friendly, houses aren't new but feel new. Buses run on time, shopping close by, gyms plenty of schools. If you like to live a party lifestyle might not be for you.

No regrets in moving here, friendly area and close to everything you need.

Hubby and the family have been very happy in this area. Plenty of parks for the kids and very good primary schools

The estate I am in is such an incredible pocket of Perth, a real hidden gem. The buses to Murdoch station come past South Street frequently during peak hour so easy to get in and out of the city (about 35-40min on public transport during peak hour). Beautiful parks in the estates, amazing primary schools and Livingston shops has everything you need. In summer, kids play on the street literally every day after school and the neighbours all know each other. Very safe. A few fenced dog parks around the place, so you either know your neighbours through the local school or the dog park.

The only complaint I have about living in Canning Vale so far is that I hear the occasional plane flying over. Otherwise I find the public transport to be better than a lot of other places that I have lived in. I used to catch the bus/train from Highgate to Victoria Park and it takes about the same time travelling from Canning Vale to Victoria Park with less walking!! The bus is always on time here too, which is great! The neighbourhood I live in seems really safe and is so quiet and beautiful. I never even see my neighbours.

I do agree that it’s probably not suitable for someone who wants to walk to restaurants/pubs/clubs regularly, but not many suburbs in Perth are. And they’re usually a lot noisier and less safe areas to live in anyway.

But anyway so far it seems like a decent and nice suburb to live in. Oh and I’ve never noticed the traffic being too busy either both when driving and catching the bus, so maybe I’ve just been lucky ;)

No Good High school.
No good transfortation system to access city.

Visited Canning Vale suburbia and drive through Canning Vale almost every day on my commute. The streets appear well maintained and clean. In the suburbia itself - houses are all nicely presented and well maintained. Feels like a safe suburb. Lots of public transport options in the way of bus stops. Appears to be a lovely suburb.
