🌳 Established📈 Gentrifying💎 Expensive👨👩👧 Family Friendly🚆 Public Transport
Noranda is a well-established middle-ring suburb north of the river, long valued for its family-friendly streets, local shopping centres, and proximity to Dianella and Morley. The opening of the Ellenbrook rail line with a station on Benara Road has transformed its connectivity story. Property prices have climbed steeply, surprising even locals, while occasional safety incidents near the Galleria area temper its otherwise quiet residential appeal.
Median property values reach $1.09M and rent of $790/week, 7% above the Perth metro median. Commuters face a 21-minute drive to the CBD (45 min on public transport), where most residents drive (74%). Low crime is a key drawcard, with the safety score of 73/100 exceeding the metro average of 52 by 21 points, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. Families have access to 3 schools with a rating of 67/100, well above average. Demographically, the median age sits at 45 and household income at $1,632/week.
