Guildford Suburb Profile

Guildford is Perth's most historically significant suburb, a colonial-era townsite with pubs, pottery studios, antique strips and riverside reserves that feel genuinely old-world. Community spirit runs deep here, from Medieval Fayres at Stirling Square to campaigns saving century-old trees. The vibe is established and arts-leaning rather than slick or modern, with South Guildford offering large blocks at reasonable prices, though aircraft noise and the fading antique trade are real trade-offs.

Property prices sit at a median of $1.15M and rent of $750/week, which is 13% above the Perth metro median. Expect a 26-minute drive to the CBD (or 46 min via public transport), and most residents drive (59%). At 18/100, the safety score sits 34 points below Perth's metro average of 52. School quality is among the highest in Perth, with 2 schools holding a combined 79/100 rating. At a median age of 46, households here bring in $2,207/week.
