The Vines is a quiet, acreage-heavy suburb on the edge of Perth's Swan Valley, best known for its golf resort and resort-style properties. Large blocks and bushland surrounds give it a peaceful, nature-connected feel: kangaroos at wedding venues are not unheard of. The tradeoff is serious: the suburb sits in a high bushfire zone with multiple emergency warnings on record, and residents are almost entirely car-dependent for daily needs.
At $1.07M and rent of $800/week, the local housing market is 5% above the Perth metro median. The Vines sits a 39-minute drive from the CBD (80 min by transit), and most residents drive (70%). Residents enjoy a high safety score of 83/100, 31 points above the metro average of 52, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. The suburb's median age of 39 and household income of $2,569/week sit near the broader average.
