I'm from Victoria and I will say this. You will not find another place anywhere in Australia that offers what Mandurah does. With amazing beaches at your doorstep, and only a 50 minute train ride into Perth city, then considering the affordable housing, sorry, but you won't find such a place anywhere else. I've lived all over Australia, and I can attest to the fact that this place is a gem. With that said, I believe the house prices will sky rocket in the future as more and more people discover this place. Particularly overseas and interstate investors. There's a good range of restaurants and cafes, and all the major shops you could ever need. In addition to the stunning beaches, the Peel Inlet is a huge asset and draw card. I think the people complaining about cost of living are renters that don't want to see prices increase, though all I can say is go and visit Melbourne or Sydney and you will then know what expensive is. I wont be going anywhere. This place offers everything I need for my family and more, and I enjoy the commute to the CBD for work. You can't beat this small parcel of paradise for value, quality of life and clean air!
