Parkerville Suburb Profile

Parkerville is a semi-rural Perth Hills suburb defined by its bush setting, tight-knit community, and beloved local pub. Residents treasure the natural landscape and peaceful lifestyle, but live with the constant reality of bushfire risk, as the suburb has been directly hit by major fires twice in a decade. It's firmly car-dependent, fiercely protective of its low-density character, and unmistakably hills.

Median property values reach $1.32M and rent of $905/week, 30% above the Perth metro median. Commuters face a 44-minute drive to the CBD (75 min on public transport), where most residents drive (68%). Low crime is a key drawcard, with the safety score of 93/100 exceeding the metro average of 52 by 41 points, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. Families have access to 2 schools with a rating of 64/100, well above average. Demographically, the median age sits at 42 and household income at $2,383/week.
