Ferndale, WA 6148

Just non stop flight noise. I'm a sensitive sleeper and it's driving me nuts.

Lived there about 1 and half years.

Pros: generally a quiet suburb, close to the Carousel and riverton shopping centers.

Cons: under flight path, be mind of the flight noise.

Ferndale is a hidden gem nestled by the Canning River. It is close to major highways and the Cannington shopping district without the hustle and bustle. We found our neighbors to be friendly and the surrounding neighborhood to be safe when we go for a stroll to the Kent St Weir Park which is only about 10-15 mins away by foot through the regional park.

The houses are generally on a decent sized blocks with not much sub division seen yet. Houses that have been updated present a very tempting proposition for all buyers. I would recommend Ferndale to those looking for a quiet and convenient residential suburb.

We are very impressed with our new home and suburb. Within minutes we are next to the river in national park, sitting in a cafe overlooking water or in huge shopping mall with everything. On top of that, I'm only 6km from my work place (Curtin Uni) and can ride my bike on pathways all the way.

Ferndale is one of the Best places to live in South of Perth! Lots of Schools, Shopping Centres & Parks around & is a Nice Area!

This is another great choice for me to live in Perth!

Ferndale is a great suburb to live in, it is quiet, clean and feels like a really safe neighbourhood. It is only a few minutes from the westfield carousel mall or riverton forum mall if you need to go shopping and it's not too far to drive to perth cbd. It has excellent primary schools, clean and beautiful parks for the kids to play at and good coffee shops, restaurants etc are only a stones throw away. It's an awesome suburb, we won't be leaving anytime soon!

The canning river reserve is absolutely magic, the city just disappears, invisible to the eye as the wildlife around the river makes itself known. Ducks, Darters, Spoonbills, Coots and a host of other waterbirds make the river their home. Make sure to spend some time canoeing along the river and keep a look out for the nests of the waterbirds that are in the trees along the edge.

A short walk to Carousel at the east and Riverton Forum at the western side of the suburb, means there is plenty of choice for shopping and eating.

A small suburb that is missed by many and enjoyed by the few fortunate to have found it.

Close to city only 10kms, 5 minutes drive to Vic Park for excellent food, pubs and shopping. Ferndale is convenient to have Carousel, Riverton Forum and lots and lots of shops along Albany Hwy. Cons, is that Albany Highway is busy on peak traffic....but there is always High Road. Good access to busses and train station. Close to Roe Hwy and not too far from Freeway. Lot's of parkland and river for recreation...etc...Although I would like to see more off leash, better quality parkland for dogs.
