🚗 Car Dependent🌿 Nature & Outdoors⚠️ Safety Concern🏡 Quiet Residential🤝 Community
Chittering is a scenic semi-rural retreat about 70km north of Perth, prized for its valley landscapes, wildflowers, dark skies, and wildlife. Residents embrace a close-knit community and spacious acreage living, with hiking trails and stargazing on the doorstep. The trade-offs are real: bushfire risk is a recurring concern, internet connectivity can be patchy, and everything requires a car. A proposed mega-mansion signals growing outside interest in the valley.
Property prices sit at a median of $1.17M and rent of $833/week, which is 14% above the Perth metro median. Expect a 55-minute drive to the CBD, and most residents drive (66%). Crime rates are well below average, and the 79/100 safety score sits 27 points above the metro mean of 52, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. At a median age of 44, households here bring in $1,972/week.
