Wembley Downs Suburb Profile

Wembley Downs is one of Perth's most desirable western suburbs, prized by families for its proximity to City Beach and access to highly regarded public school catchments. Locals describe it as a quiet, established neighbourhood with a relaxed coastal character. Residents note the significant trade-off: prices are eye-watering, routinely in the millions, and the area is car-dependent, but the beach proximity and leafy streets keep demand consistently high.

Median property values reach $1.90M and rent of $1025/week, 86% above the Perth metro median. Commuters face a 19-minute drive to the CBD (44 min on public transport), where most residents drive (66%). Low crime is a key drawcard, with the safety score of 84/100 exceeding the metro average of 52 by 32 points, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. Families have access to 2 schools with a rating of 89/100, among the highest in Perth. Demographically, the median age sits at 41 and household income at $2,626/week.
