🌳 Established🏡 Quiet Residential🛡️ Safe👨👩👧 Family Friendly🚗 Car Dependent
Kingsley is one of Perth's quieter, well-established northern suburbs, about 17 km from the CBD. It drew attention during the pandemic property rush when houses were going under offer within days, sometimes without public viewings. People describe tree-lined streets, reliable primary schools, and the kind of safe, settled neighbourhood where families stay for decades. The trade-off is limited local amenities and no train station, but residents seem content with the peace and proximity to Greenwood, Padbury, and the coast.
Median property values reach $1.15M and rent of $800/week, 12% above the Perth metro median. Commuters face a 21-minute drive to the CBD (47 min on public transport), where most residents drive (65%). Low crime is a key drawcard, with the safety score of 90/100 exceeding the metro average of 52 by 38 points, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. Families have access to 6 schools with a rating of 73/100, well above average. Demographically, the median age sits at 44 and household income at $2,012/week.
“Properties in this area are under offer within days of being listed. Some without even holding public viewings. I thought most people would be holding off, but these places are selling like sausages at Bunnings!”— 143 upvotes in community discussion
