Cloverdale is a hidden jewel located 10km east of Perth, on the south bank of the river. Perth is accessible through the Graham Farmer Freeway and Great Eastern Highway, which also provides a connection through to industrial center Midland.

Cloverdale a fairly well connected suburb due because its bounded by major highways on all sides, as a result travel to most major centres (CBD, Midland, Armadale).

In the heart of Cloverdale is Belmont Forum, it contains all major retail outlets (2 IGA's, Woolworths, Coles). As a result shopping is available 7 days a week till 9pm. Because Belmont forum is not a huge shopping center, parking is relatively easy and there are fewer crowds.

On Abernethy road to the north of Belmont Forum is a doctors clinic, pharamacy, radiologist and pathology clinic almost next to each other making it a very central and convenient area for medical facilities.

The areas two major parks, Faulkner Park are scenic and there are public swimming pools and skate parks located nearby. Traffic in the area is generally low but can be busy along major roads including Abernethy Rd and Wright St.

The council is generally proactive and clearly includes stakeholders in city planning through forums and workshops.

The area also has mixed zoning with some interesting rules like the ability to subdivide on plots that are on corners (R30) but generally R20.

For the price and distance to the city and the general availability of facilities, the suburb represents the best opportunity to buy into a great suburb close to the city, for a price that is otherwise out of reach for first home buyers.
