Campbell Road

"Thoroughfare but remarkably safe"

Campbell Road splits the main residential area of Canning Vale between Warton and Nicholson Roads from Garden Street to Ranford Road and beyond, into the new estate of Glenariff. Despite it being a thoroughfare, Campbell Road living isn't that bad, with many quality homes lining either side of the street and a footpath one side. It does get busy a couple of times a day - predominantly the classic morning and afternoon work/school peak hour, so you may have to wait a few minutes to exit your driveway. Campbell Primary School is located on this road and kids are able to ride safely to school on the footpath, with intermediary pedestrian crossings available at the roundabouts. Campbell Primary School has a crosswalk attendant for school children and the 40km school speed zone is well monitored by the attendant and police presence from time to time, so be sure to adhere to the built-up area speed restrictions. Most people already living on Campbell Road say they are happy there and the traffic noise is limited, despite its busy periods. A Transperth bus route travels the road, as well as the Carey College school bus. The Ranford shops are accessible from Campbell Road. There is also a large public open space with a walkway on the corner of Campbell and Amherst Roads, as well as the commencement of the Brookland Greens nature reserve on the opposite corner. Kelly's Cafe and All Palms nursery is located on the corner of Campbell and Birnam Roads, with Campbell Primary School situated on the corner of Campbell and Comrie Roads. The Gosnells Golf Course backs onto Campbell Road at the intersection of both Sandringham Promenade and Ranford Road. Probably not the best location for young children simply due to the main road, although many families do reside here and have no issues.

Canning Vale

"Glorious Gateway Living"

Situated 17km south east of Perth CBD is one of Perth’s fastest growing sought after suburbs amongst middle to top income earning families. Boasting a population of 23,289, Canning Vale has progressed from merely an industrial / semi-rural area to “the” residential place to be. The suburb is littered with prestigious estates such as Livingston, Waratah, Brookland Greens, The Reserve, The Avenues, Sanctuary Waters, Ranford, Caladenia and Oxford Private Estate, to name but some. With new infrastructure, well designed parklands and children’s playgrounds, plus thoughtful retained natural habitats, this suburb has much to offer. Quality shopping centres such as Livingston, The Vale and Ranford provide supermarkets, pharmacies and speciality shops and medical centres including an after-hours medical centre at The Vale shopping centre. Restaurants such as Thai, Italian, Vietnamese, Indian and Japanese provide a multi-cultural taste sensation, as well as a local pub, cafes, liquor and takeaway outlets. The Market City provides professional services as well as a popular weekend market. Industry and service based businesses still exist around the Bannister Road location. A new local library and community centre exist at Amherst Village on Warton Road. There are state and private primary and secondary schools providing state-of-the-art technology, as well as child care centres and outside hours school care. Sporting clubs flourish as well as fitness centres, in addition to a private golf course in the heart of the suburb. Bus routes provide services to the city, train station and Murdoch Bus Station. Centrally located near the Roe Highway for the northern and southern suburbs, and Nicholson Road access to Albany Highway for city or south-west destination, Canning Vale truly is a hidden gateway. Rental prices are above average and house prices range from lower than median up to a million plus.

Huntingdale

"A great family living suburb"

Southern River is located approx 20km from Perth CBD and has come a long way in the past few years. Originally comprising larger sized properties (sometimes with kennels, horses and animals) and now being rejuvenated with new estates. The Boardwalk has set a standard for surrounding estates with gorgeous walkways and public recreation facilities. The neighbourhood Southern River Shopping Centre is a smaller specialty centre with Coles and other shops are dotted along Ranford Road closeby. Schooling is excellent with both private and public options available.

Huntingdale

"A leafy suburb with good neighbourly spirit"

Huntingdale is located 20km south east of Perth CBD and offers a great suburb to many. The most eastern part is the original older Huntingdale style homes right through to the western side, adjacent to Southern River, offering larger 4 bedroom 2 bathroom modern homes.

Families are very involved in community life and support the local sporting activities - you can see many locals at Sutherland Park playing or watching on the weekends. Shopping facilities are limited with a strip along Warton Road plus Huntingdale Road shops (with good takeaway options).

Take a walk along Southernwood Park and appreciate the leafy trees and chirping birdlife.

Maddington

"Affordable, well priced and a great place to start"

Maddington is 18km from Perth CBD and has a mix of older style homes on larger blocks along with newer homes. Maddington offers an affordable area that comprises families, singles who are starting out, retirees and some rental properties.
Locals love the convenience of the suburb - being so well located for the major roads (Albany Hwy, Roe Highway, Tonkin Highway), having public transport nearby (buses and Maddington train station) and also the shopping areas (Maddington Centro and Maddington Village). Most properties, where possible, house a large workshop - to cater for our boys toys! Restaurants and food service is very minimal in this area (mostly take-away) and a short trip to Carousel or Victoria Park is recommended. We have plenty of parks, childrens playgrounds and sporting facilities.
