"Love it"
Have lived in Yanchep for 21 years. Seen many changes over that time. Some good some bad.
The beach is beautiful. The national Park on your doorstep. Some great cafes. When people say it's too far - I say too far from what?
It's a great place to live, still has that community feel about it.
Would take a lot for me to move from here.

"Away from the hustle and bustle"
Having lived in a few different suburbs in Perth, Yanchep is hands down my favorite. Being 45 mins from the city you really do feel like you could be anywhere in Australia. Yanchep is surrounded by beautiful bushland with the national park, also has a golf course and has one of the best swimming spots at the Lagoon. Yanchep really does have something for everyone and caters for all age groups not just that but most people that live in this close knit community are also really friendly and would do anything for their neighbors.
As of 2022 we will also have the train line running to Yanchep which will help cut commute times and easily link us to some of the more busier suburbs.

"Affordable Coastal Living"
Yanchep used to be thought of as an area that you would go for a weekend getaway! However over the past few years that has all changed! With the road improvements and growth - Yanchep is now a very affordable suburb for people wanting a coastal lifestyle! I think the perception of Yanchep is that its miles away from anything - but in reality its only 25 minutes North of Hillarys Marina!
For people looking for lifestyle that is relaxed, where community is important AND where your budget to buy is under $400k - this is definitely an area worth considering!
My parents often tell me that 40 years ago - people considered Mullaloo a 'weekend getaway' area - and now its one of the most sought after coastal suburbs.

"Stunning beachside lagoon"
Peaceful beachside suburb. Amazing coastline with lagoon at the heart. Access to the national park and bush trails. Great for walking and biking especially the Yaberoo heritage trail from Yanchep to Joondalup.
Starting to grow and amenities slowly coming.
Hopefully the train line and freeway will be hear in a couple of years.
Feels differant to your standard suburbs mote relaxed holiday beachside feel.

Close to beach, ocean views, lovely neighbours, boat harbour, golf coarse, national park with wildlife away from the rat race. Many new facilities and a new shopping centre being built and plans for rail station in the works. We love this place.

"A great place to kick back and relax"
With the Yanchep National park, Yanchep Lagoon and Sun City Golf Course, all the lovely parks and playgrounds that are being built its a great place to bring up the family. Where we live the only noise you hear are the black cockatoos and the odd kangeroo coming for a hop up the street is not unusual!!

If you want nightlife and a trainline go live in Joondalup. Yanchep is a nice relaxed community.
