Victoria Park Suburb Profile

Albany Highway's restaurant strip — especially its Asian eateries — draws visitors from across the city. Walkable, well-connected by train, and popular with young professionals, it offers genuine urban buzz close to the CBD. Safety concerns linger with occasional break-ins and street-level antisocial behaviour, but most residents see a suburb that has dramatically improved and continues to gentrify.

At $1.14M and rent of $795/week, the local housing market is 12% above the Perth metro median. Victoria Park sits a short 15-minute drive from the CBD (28 min by transit), and 16% of residents use public transport, well above the metro average of 7.3%. The area's 22/100 safety rating is 30 points below the metro average of 52. It has 4 schools with a combined rating of 86/100, among the highest in Perth. The suburb's median age of 35 and household income of $1,828/week sit near the broader average.
