Koondoola Suburb Profile

Koondoola is an established, working-class suburb in Perth's northern corridor known for its affordability and large regional bushland reserve. It consistently attracts first home buyers priced out of pricier suburbs, with genuine green space on the doorstep. The trade-off is a long-standing reputation for crime, as the suburb is often grouped with Girrawheen and Balga as part of Perth's tougher northern precinct, and limited public transport making car ownership essential.

Property prices sit at a median of $735k and rent of $645/week, which is 28% below the Perth metro median. Expect a 25-minute drive to the CBD (or 62 min via public transport), and most residents drive (75%). At 17/100, the safety score sits 35 points below Perth's metro average of 52. School quality is around average, with 4 schools holding a combined 31/100 rating. At a median age of 35, households here bring in $1,185/week.
