Aveley Suburb Profile

Aveley sits quietly next to Ellenbrook, often mentioned as the calmer, slightly more put-together sibling. It draws young families with newer estates and lower crime figures, though locals note rising rents and the occasional car break-in. People describe it as peaceful with decent parks and a surprise population of wild peacocks, but very car-dependent with limited local dining. Hidden beside the housing estates is one of Western Australia's oldest historic precincts, a detail most residents seem unaware of.

Median property values reach $827k and rent of $750/week, 19% below the Perth metro median. Commuters face a 35-minute drive to the CBD (59 min on public transport), where most residents drive (74%). Low crime is a key drawcard, with the safety score of 72/100 exceeding the metro average of 52 by 20 points, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. Families have access to 3 schools with a rating of 59/100, above average. With a median age of just 31, it attracts a younger crowd earning $2,165/week per household.
