Question 1

Is Alexander Heights a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Alexander Heights is an established residential suburb in Perth’s northern suburbs, made up mostly of modest single-storey brick homes, low-rise townhouses and tree-lined streets. The neighbourhood is centred on small local shops and community facilities, with larger retail and services a short trip away in nearby Mirrabooka. Local civic amenities include the Alexander Heights Community Centre, an adult day care centre and Alexander Heights Park, which has a nine-tee disc golf layout.

Home to about 7,772 people with a median age of 39, the area leans towards families and owner-occupiers — roughly 83.8% of homes are owned. Regular bus services, schools, sporting fields and local parks make day-to-day errands and weekend walks straightforward, and the council has been progressing small street and road upgrades. Whether Alexander Heights suits you will come down to whether you value a practical, established suburb with nearby shopping and transport hubs.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Alexander Heights?

Accepted Answer

Housing costs in Alexander Heights sit notably above local incomes as recorded at the most recent Census. The median house price of $927,500 is about 10.4 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census (weekly income $1,709 × 52), which places buying well above what people locally earned then. Renting a house at about $750 a week would take roughly 44% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a large share of income. Whether that feels expensive will depend on your own income and circumstances.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Question 3

Is Alexander Heights a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

The clearest movement is on the houses side: median house values in Alexander Heights climbed 19.4% over the past year, a strong increase. House rents also rose, up 10.3% over the same period, which is also a strong lift but smaller than the value gain.

For someone considering Alexander Heights as an investment, the value change points to capital growth over the year and the rent change shows what happened to rental income; in this period capital growth outpaced rental growth. Whether that pattern fits your goals and circumstances is for you to weigh up.
