Swanbourne Suburb Profile

Swanbourne is one of Perth's most prestigious coastal suburbs, tucked between the Indian Ocean and bushland reserves. Its beach, shared between dog walkers, sunset-chasers, and a well-known clothing-optional stretch, defines the suburb's relaxed, outdoorsy character. Property prices sit firmly at the top of the market, and the suburb carries a reputation as the domain of established wealth. Quiet, leafy streets and an unhurried pace make it attractive to families and retirees, though public transport leaves something to be desired.

The typical house sells for around $2.68M and rent of $1500/week, placing it 163% above the Perth metro median.
