Girrawheen is part of one of the largest ongoing urban renewal projects in Australia. A formerly undesirable area, it is one of the few remaining affordable suburbs within a reasonable distance of the Perth CBD. This won't last, though - house prices have been rising for the last decade. There is constant renovation of old houses and construction of new high quality homes. Rezoning of almost every piece of land in the suburb will increase the population density (and values) even further. Get in while you can!

You hear from some Perth residents that Girrawheen is a "rough" place. This reputation is a hangover from the past and is now mostly undeserved. Crime has been steadily declining for well over 10 years. Yes, there are pockets of poorly maintained houses, but these won't be around for long. Girrawheen is becoming a suburb full of young couples, families, first home owners and educated immigrants.

I used to be one of those people who thought Girrawheen was a bad place. Then I wanted to own my own home and not spend hours in traffic driving to work every morning. Now I own a house in Girrawheen that has increased in value by 30% over just 18 months and shows no sign of slowing down, even in a flat market. My neighbours are all friendly people who have well paying jobs and keep their gardens looking good.

Why would you want to live 35-40km (or more) from the city when you could buy in the future star suburb of Girrawheen? Look beyond the outdated reputation and discover a true hidden treasure of Perth.
