Tapping, WA 6065

Tappingis a family friendly, northern suburb ofPerth situated27 kilometres north of Perth'scentral business district. Only a 10 minute drive to pristine beaches and the magnificent Indian Ocean, a 30 minute drive to Yanchep National Park where you can get to meet some native fauna and revel in the natural WA bushland. Its simply a 5 minute drive to Lake Mariginiup and a mere 20 minute journey to the Swan Valley, where you can enjoy the fabulous scenery, local wineries and fresh local produce.Another big advantage of living in Tapping is the access to surrounding parkland areas, particularly Jimbub Park.

Your shopping options are excellent in Tapping with its close proximity to Lakeside Shopping
Centre in Joondalup, arguably one of Perths best shopping malls with over 300 stores, plus
cinemas and restaurants. Add to that Carramar Shopping Centre and Wanneroo Central Shopping Centre, Wanneroo Markets and Drovers Market Place are close by.

The childrens education has been well catered for with excellent local schools: Tapping
Primary School, Spring Hill Primary School and St Stephens School Carramar. Other nearby
schools are, St Anthonys School Wanneroo, Banksia Grove Primary School and St John
Paul 11 Catholic School.

With approximately 3000 homes, Tapping has a population of almost 9000 residents with the
local government areabeing theCity of Wanneroo. Its a fresh, young suburb and came into being in the late 1990s. Tapping was chosen as the suburb name in honour of an early settler family in the Wanneroo area, Mr William Tapping who arrived in 1886 with Molly and Dolly Tapping who were long timePostmistressesin Wanneroo.

I found tapping to be the middle of nowhere and the daily commute to be life absorbing.

I'd rent before buying

Living in Perth for almost a decade, I have lived in suburbs like Bullcreek, Burns Beach, Joondalup, Tapping, Currambine and Carramar. Let me just say one thing-Tapping has by far been the best one! Tapping is particularly GREAT for young families as it has such good schools nearby, lots of shops and is very close to the bustling Joondalup. Tapping is close to lots of parks, and you can see many young people waking up early to go for a little morning jog. The neighbours in Tapping are so kind and accomading, always giving a "hi" when we pass each other. Everyone I know has a special place in their heart for Tapping, it is THAT great. The only downside I will say would be the lack of public transport, as the only routes that really pass through here is the 390 and the sometimes the 391 (if it feels like it).

Tapping is a great suburb with lots of parks and great schools.

I came to WA to find our perfect family location to start fresh.
I searched from Rockingham to Yanchep and Tapping was it!!
Beautiful homes, established area, green lawns, new houses but not brand new, parks everywhere, incredible welcoming schools and lovely people.
But the weather and outlook of the area is just unexplainable.
Can not recommend high enough!!

After moving to WA & renting locally we finally found our home in Tapping . We’ve been here for 10 years and definitely feel at home here , great value modern homes , many parks great schools as well as good position for the freeway and local beaches 😉

Not sure where to start. Really love living here. Close to schools. Shops are all in near reach and we got a big choice of where to go.
Its clean and very well looked after. We feel save to raise children here without having to worry. Fantastic neighbours...cant have wished for more.

Just minutes from the new Banksia Grove shops, which have a fabulous selection of new shops, including an Aldi. Then there's Carramar shops also within walking distance with the Duke pub.
Drovers farmers market is only minutes away, with an ndependent butcher and grocery store. The botanical gardens, beautiful walks and cycleways around Lake Joondalup. Joondalup shopping mall and railway station are minutes away. And a fantastic choice of schools, including the high ranking St. Stephens school.
To boot, the house prices are reasonable and there's a nice community feel where house owners take great pride. Tapping is also very safe, ranking in the top 10 safest suburbs in Perth.

Recently sold after living in Tapping for 7 years. I noticed over the past 18 months the area starting to feel a little unsafe. From neighbours houses being broken into, to loud house parties. It's quite a shame really. Teenagers are stating to roam the streets on weekend nights as there is not much to do for them. Serviced by only 1 Transperth bus route, it can be a bit of a pain to get anywhere via public transport. During morning peak will take you around an hour and 20 minutes to get to Perth CBD by car. This is why I ended up moving out of the area.
