Aveley is an outer north-eastern Perth suburb adjoining Ellenbrook that has grown in recent decades as a predominantly family-focused residential area. Streets are lined with modern single and two-storey brick homes, modest gardens, pocket parks and playgrounds, with walking and cycling paths through nearby bushland corridors. The community is just under 14,000 people, with a median age of 31 and a median household income of $2,165 a week. Families make up the bulk of households and most homes are owner-occupied (80.9%).

Everyday life in Aveley centres on local shops, schools and community facilities in both Aveley and neighbouring Ellenbrook, and the suburb offers a suburban, low-maintenance lifestyle with ready access to green space and the wider Perth road and public transport network. Aveley is now served by the METRONET Ellenbrook line, with feeder bus routes linking the suburb to Ellenbrook station and the Transperth network. A precinct improvement scheme reserves land for an aquatic and leisure facility and guides mixed-use development, and a mixed-use proposal with a social and affordable housing component is currently under assessment.

Buying a house in Aveley sits well above what local households earned at the last Census. A median house price of $877,500 is about 7.8 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census (weekly median household income of $2,165, which is $112,580 a year). Renting a house at around $750 a week would take about 34.6% of that typical weekly household income, a sizeable share. On these figures, buying looks considerably more stretched against local incomes than renting, but whether that feels expensive depends on your own circumstances.

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

For someone weighing Aveley up as an investment, the clearest movement over the past 12 months is on houses. House values rose 13.3% over the year, a strong increase, while house rents climbed 7.1%, a solid rise. That means house prices delivered larger capital growth than rental income over the year; whether that balance suits you depends on whether you prioritise price growth or ongoing rental income.
