Willagee, WA 6156

The shittiest place ever.

Hoons, bogans, junkies everywhere, garbage on the streets.

Crime everywhere, house broken in, car stolen.

Hoons and public housing.

Willagee is one of Perth’s best-kept secrets — a suburb that has truly come into its own with a warm, community feel and some absolute standouts in food and coffee. Tucked just minutes from Fremantle, it offers the perfect balance of convenience, greenery, and a friendly neighbourhood vibe.

One of the biggest drawcards is the incredible local café scene. Pelican’s Croissanterie is nothing short of legendary, serving up buttery, flaky croissants that rival anything you’d find in Paris. Just down the road, Slow Dough has become a local favourite for fresh bread and pastries, baked with care and flavour that speaks for itself. And for a relaxed coffee spot with consistently great food, Green Olive Café is the go-to — a welcoming hub where locals gather for brunch, a catch-up, or simply to enjoy one of the best coffees in the area.

Beyond the food, Willagee shines with leafy parks, family-friendly spaces, and a genuine sense of community. It’s a suburb where neighbours know each other, weekend mornings are spent at local cafés, and everything you need is within easy reach.

Willagee might not shout for attention, but that’s part of its charm — once you discover it, you’ll understand why so many people love calling it home.

My friend lives here so I visit quite often but it isn't what it used to be, crime has sky rocketed as of late

Based on the latest crime stats:

In 2024 in Willagee your chances of becoming a victim of a violent crime is 1 in 44 ((It used to be 1 in 200+) and just in contrast next door in Winthrop (same as other good suburbs) it is 1 in almost 300.

Yes WA has gone up in general all over, but it has spiked in some suburbs more than others.

Friendly suburb, close to fremantle and other ammenities, moderate price range compared to surrounding suburb with similar convenience. Easy access to cbd via leach highway!

I like Willagee for rental but will be looking elsewhere in city of Melville to buy as I don’t like how the suburb is trapped by busy roads: Leach hwy, stock road and north lake road.

Some smells from nearby industrial area.

Always smarter to rent and “test drive” an area before you buy.

Good for those looking for entry level property, nice price.

Willagee despite all its gains it's still comfortably the cheapest option for Melville City Council.

All the new builds. The great coffee shops and bakeries. Local IGA, Doctor, Pharmacy , Bar, etc means it's a great little catchment.

If you've got kid you're only ever a few mins from highly credentialed Melville SHS as well as Caralee PS.

Willagee is pound for pound the best to way to highly ranked high school being Melville SHS,

Melville in top 20 schools in the state for outperforming the nation in Naplan testing.

What this means is that your kid can go to one of Perth's best high schools without paying for private school.

Exceptional value given the cost to go schools like rossmoyne ( did worse than MSHS) and Willetton.

The suburb is evolving into a winner and I can see why so many people are building and transforming the suburb.
