One of the great advantages of a long established suburb is the number of substantial trees and the parklands.
South Perth is blessed with both. Take James Mitchell Park with it's spectacular views across the Swan River to the City.Also the Royal Perth Golf Club being so close to the CBD.
Parents ,with children ,come here due to the popularity of the schooling. Wesley College, South Perth Primary, St Columbus College are all well regarded together with many more in Como.

Many people move into Como due to the large number of great primary, secondary schools plus proximity to Curtin University.
Its 10 mins into the city but relatively quiet and has a great communal feel. Divided colloquially between "riverside" and "non riverside" of Canning Highway. The riverside is dearer than the non-riverside but the non riverside is closer to Penrhos College for girls.
A wonderful collection of cafes and small shops. Easy access via buses into the City
