🚗 Car Dependent🌍 Multicultural👨👩👧 Family Friendly
Canning Vale is a large, sprawling south-of-the-river suburb that locals see as an affordable, multicultural family area with solid shopping options and a beloved Sunday market. The food scene punches above its weight, especially for Vietnamese and South Asian cuisine. However, it is heavily car-dependent with notoriously bad traffic around Nicholson Road, and parts near the industrial zone and prison feel less desirable. Young people often note there is not much to do for entertainment, and petty crime occasionally makes headlines.
The typical house sells for around $1.11M and rent of $845/week, placing it 9% above the Perth metro median. Getting to the CBD takes a 29-minute drive or 56 minutes by transit, and most residents drive (71%). With a safety score of 63/100, the area is 11 points above the metro average of 52. The area's 8 schools hold a combined rating of 87/100, among the highest in Perth. The median age is 37, with households earning $2,277/week.
“My vote is for the roundabout on Nicholson Rd/Yale Rd/Garden St in Canning Vale. Almost every single time I turn right at that roundabout some dickhead will pull out in front of me. Yesterday it was 2 of them at the same time.”— 73 upvotes in community discussion
