Question 1

Is Banjup a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Banjup is a semi-rural suburb on Perth’s southern fringe, characterised by large rural-residential blocks, horse properties and a strong bushland feel. Remnant native trees and pockets of wetlands give the area a tranquil outlook, roads are generally quiet and properties offer space for gardens, hobby farms and outdoor living. Housing ranges from older cottages to newer acreage homes and the suburb attracts buyers seeking a country-style lifestyle without completely leaving the metropolitan area.

The community numbers 1,377 people with a median age of 42 and a median household income of $2,507 a week. It is largely a suburb of couple families and homes are predominantly owner-occupied. Day-to-day needs are met via nearby suburban centres and arterial roads, while local assets include large parts of Jandakot Regional Park, the Denis de Young Reserve, the Banjup Community Hall and a recommended network of bridle and shared trails. A Kwinana Freeway upgrade nearby is progressing.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Banjup?

Accepted Answer

A house rent of $1,000 a week in Banjup would take about 39.8% of a typical local household's weekly income as recorded at the most recent Census. On these figures that is a sizeable share of income, so renting a house here would use a substantial part of what a typical local household earned at the most recent Census. If you're focused on renting rather than buying, that rent share is the number that matters and whether it feels expensive depends 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.
