🚗 Car Dependent🌳 Established👨👩👧 Family Friendly
Kinross is a quietly established northern suburb sitting between Joondalup and the coast. Families are drawn here for the school options including Kinross College, reasonable house prices, and easy beach access via Mindarie. It is firmly car-dependent with residents driving to Joondalup for most services. A handful of safety incidents and persistent questions about the nearby Tamala Park landfill are the main hesitations.
Buyers can expect a median price of $985k and rent of $795/week, close to the Perth metro median. The CBD is a 28-minute drive away (65 min by transit), and most residents drive (67%). The area scores 83/100 for safety, comfortably 31 points above Perth's metro average of 52, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. There are 2 schools nearby, rated 59/100 overall and above average. Residents have a median age of 38 and household income of $2,239/week.
