Question 1

Is Anketell a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Anketell is a developing suburb in the City of Kwinana on Perth’s southern fringe, mixing recent residential estates with stretches of native bush and open paddocks. Streets are dominated by modern single-storey family homes on medium to generous lots, and local life centres on neighbourhood parks, playgrounds and walking trails, with shops and community facilities close by. It has straightforward road access and public transport options, and the coast and regional reserves are within easy reach for weekend outings.

With a small population of 280 and a median age of 44, Anketell is a suburb of families and predominantly owner-occupied homes (about 89.7% owned outright or with a mortgage). Planning is under way for a major state transport upgrade through the area and for a new primary school, and routes have been reserved for future freight corridor infrastructure. Whether Anketell suits you will come down to how much you value newer homes, outdoor space and a growing local infrastructure.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Anketell?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Anketell run to about $700 a week. Measured against the median total household income of $1,797 a week as recorded at the last Census, that rent would take about 39% of a typical local household's weekly income — roughly two-fifths, which is a sizeable share.

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 Anketell a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Anketell climbed 5.7% over the past year, a solid rise in capital growth. Over the same period, house rents increased 3.7%, a more modest gain.

For someone considering Anketell as an investment, the 5.7% number is the capital growth measure and the 3.7% number is what matters for rental income, so capital growth has been the stronger performer over the past year. Whether that balance fits your goals and circumstances is for you to weigh up.
