🚗 Car Dependent🌿 Nature & Outdoors💰 Affordable🌳 Established
Maida Vale sits at the foot of the Darling Scarp with a semi-rural character: large blocks, native nurseries, and enough dark sky to shoot the Milky Way. It's affordable by Perth standards and feels established rather than flashy, but bushfire season looms large here, and residents endure some of Perth's slowest internet on ageing copper lines. Car dependency is a given; amenity is modest.
The median house price is $949k and rent of $750/week, 7% below the Perth metro median. From Maida Vale, the CBD is a 30-minute drive away (52 min by transit), and most residents drive (69%). Safety is a strength: the crime score of 76/100 is 24 points above the metro average of 52, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. Education options include 1 school, rated 44/100 and around average. Typical residents are around 42 years old, with a household income of $1,977/week.
