Location, Location & Lifestyle. Having raised our children in the Northern Beaches, Hillarys was a chosen area when my family decided to move away from the larger back yard, to a lifestyle sized more manageable property, within easy walking to the beach. It's so close to Hillarys Marina and Sorrento Quay (open 7 days a week), Under Water World, Rottnest Ferry, Fishing Charters, cafes, restaurants, and cafes. Hillarys is also home to the Whitford Shopping Centre, a large shopping centre, complete with movie theatres. A great area to raise children, with some safe swimming beaches and lots of parks.

I love Kensington which in many ways is like an extension to South Perth. Offering an eclectic mix of character through to new homes, Kensington is popular for families looking for a more substantial sized block of land, for a little bit less than you would pay in South Perth. It's an evolving area, with some homesites being redeveloped and some being restored to reflect their original character. There are some highly sought after pockets offering stunning views of the Perth CBD. Being within close proximity to the Swan River and Perth CBD, its a winner. It has a lovely village feel, without a major shopping centre as such, but you'll find most things you need within about 3 km's. Kent Street, Senior High School is a sought after government high school in the area offering specialized programs. Penrhos (girls private School) is close in Como and Wesley College (Private Boys in South Perth).

Salter Point in my view is one of Perth's best kept secret suburbs. Tightly held by those fortunate enough to have discovered it, the home turn-overs are low and likely to be an upgrade or downsize in the area.
