We just moved here from Melbourne and my partner and I LOVE it. We are city people & were going to live in North Perth but decided that Perth is best known for its beaches and space to we decided to go a bit North and coastal. We just started a family and are so glad to be out of the city - its so clean, so much space, so many parks - schools are great. The houses are very cool and easy to do cosmetic renovations to. Its funny that Perth people think of Duncraig being out in the burbs but really its 10 minutes to the city & a few minutes to the beach - just thinkin 10 years it will be considered inner city due to the rapid growth rate here - great investment & somewhat inexpensive for now! So glad we picked Duncraig - we have met a lot of young couples here just like us who feel the same!

Its a great option if you can't afford Port Melbourne or surrounding areas in the East. Its less than 10 minutes into the city, 5 minutes to Williamstown beaches, 5 minutes to Port & South Melbourne. The houses are being bought up by young couples who are renovating them so its just a matter of time before the house prices go up as well as rental prices. Still very affordable for the proximity to the city and surrounds. The pocket around cruikshank park and wembley avenue are green and leafy way cheaper than the village which is somewhat treeless. They are building a new development on Francis Rd. near Roberts rd.th old bradmill factory which will have housing a new library, supermarket and shops which will be great for West Yarraville. One negative is the trucks but with the new truck tunnel to the port it will deflect most of the trucks from Yarraville all together. Great place to live & get in while its still affordable for inner city living.
