Reviews of Carlisle, WA

9th December 2025

"Exceeded our expectations"

Moved here over 4 years ago and being new to the area we were pleasantly surprised. Such an amazing community feel, we've never had neighbours so friendly and supportive. We love walking the dogs around all the parks and getting coffee at Oats Street, especially when the Jacarandas are full bloom its so lovely. Being super close to East Vic Park, Vic Park, Lathlain, the river and the city brings such a good lifestyle.

"Carlisle - A Hidden Gem in Perth’s Crown"

Carlisle - A Hidden Gem in Perth’s Crown
Carlisle, Western Australia rests just 6 kilometres southeast of Perth's bustling CBD. This tranquil suburb presents a serene escape from city life while maintaining convenient accessibility. I embarked on a delightful exploration of this cozy suburb, and here’s my take.
One of Carlisle's most enticing offerings is its resplendent parks. Parnham Park offers wide-open spaces that beckon for a weekend picnic or an impromptu game of cricket. Fletcher Park, another local favourite, is a verdant retreat perfect for family gatherings or solitary rambles.
Walking through the streets of Carlisle, you’ll feel the tight-knit community vibe. Neighbours greet each other by name, local baristas remember your order, and there's a palpable sense of belonging. The Carlisle Community Centre serves as the suburb's heart with events that cater to all ages – from toddler reading groups to senior bingo nights.
Food lovers, rejoice! Carlisle doesn’t disappoint. The Archer Street strip is an unassuming food haven boasting global cuisines. Whether it's a craving for Italian, Turkey, Thai or a good old Aussie pie, Carlisle's culinary scene punches well above its weight.
Carlisle’s strategic location comes with excellent transport links. The Carlisle train station, serviced by the Armadale Line, means you can be in the city within minutes. Numerous buses ply the area, and with Great Eastern Highway bordering the suburb, road connectivity is a breeze.
Real estate in Carlisle is as varied as its residents. From charming post-war bungalows to sleek new townhouses, there’s something for everyone. Its appealing price point compared to neighbouring vicinities makes Carlisle an attractive prospect for first-home buyers and savvy investors alike.
Carlisle is the distilled essence of suburban bliss. A haven for families, young professionals, and retirees alike, it upholds the quaint charm of Perth's older suburbs while adapting to contemporary lifestyles. So, whether your house-hunting or simply passing through, Carlisle, WA, is worth a pause – to live, eat, and play.

"The 10 Minute Miracle"

Carlisle is a great base from where in 10 minutes you could be in the city via train from Oats street station, or cheering on your team at Optus or sipping a cocktail at the casino or enjoying a meal out at one of Vic Parks myriad of restaurant options. Give me 10 minutes and Carlisle will be the springboard for a wealth of entertainment options on your doorstep.

"For 20 years, it's been called Up and Coming, but it never quite arrives..."

It's close to the city, but so is Subiaco, it's only the price difference that would make this the option to choose. It's all duplexes, etc., so why not plant 340k in an apartment on the other side of Perth, and enjoy safe well maintained parks, shopping districts. Belmont Forum is a worry at nights, and walking after dark is not on the cards here, look elsewhere, it's cheap for a reason...

Carlisle can be split into two areas. The more affluent area is North of Archer street and tends to be a bit quieter. There are lot's of students / rentals in the area as well as a large proportion of home owners.

  • Great public transport

"Ultra convenient location - well situated"

Close to everywhere, belmont forum, vic park cafe, airport, less than 10 mins drive to CBD.

Cant go wrong with this suburb as it is still reasonably well priced around $500k - $600k median price in 2014!
