Duncraig Suburb Profile

Duncraig is a well-established, quiet northern suburb that families prize for its leafy streets, proximity to Hillarys Boat Harbour, and solid schools. It sits comfortably in Perth's middle-class heartland — not flashy, but reliable. Residents moving away for semi-retirement note they miss the walkable restaurant culture found closer to the city. Safety is generally good but periodic incidents with door knockers and teen trouble in surrounding suburbs keep people vigilant. Property prices are strong, making it aspirational for buyers who compare it favourably to cheaper neighbours like Warwick.

Property prices sit at a median of $1.40M and rent of $850/week, which is 37% above the Perth metro median. Expect a 20-minute drive to the CBD (or 45 min via public transport), and most residents drive (63%). Crime rates are well below average, and the 90/100 safety score sits 38 points above the metro mean of 52, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. School quality is among the highest in Perth, with 6 schools holding a combined 84/100 rating. At a median age of 42, households here bring in $2,394/week.
