City Beach Suburb Profile

City Beach is one of Perth's most admired coastal suburbs, celebrated across years of posts for its sweeping Indian Ocean views, crystal-clear water and world-class sunsets. The beach draws regulars and first-timers alike who describe it as peaceful and spacious, with Clancy's restaurant and the adjacent Bold Park nature reserve rounding out a lifestyle that feels both relaxed and connected to nature. Property prices reflect the premium, homes trade well into the millions, and residents have been vocal opponents of new apartment projects, though planning bodies have begun overriding that resistance.

The typical house sells for around $4.00M and rent of $1425/week, placing it 292% above the Perth metro median. Getting to the CBD takes a 21-minute drive or 40 minutes by transit, and most residents drive (65%). At 87/100, safety here is notably above the metro average of 52 by 35 points, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. The area's 5 schools hold a combined rating of 88/100, among the highest in Perth. The median age is 47, with households earning $3,700/week.
