Beeliar is a settled, family-oriented suburb in Perth’s southern suburbs with a population of 8,617 and a median age of 34. It’s best known for Beeliar Regional Park and its chain of wetlands and lakes, which attract birdlife and provide walking and cycling trails. The streets are generally leafy with established single-storey homes and pockets of newer infill, so you’ll find a mix of garden blocks and modern family housing. Everyday needs are met by local shops, schools and community facilities, and the transport hub at Cockburn Central plus the nearby airport and coast make it practical for commuters and outdoor lovers.

Families make up the bulk of households and most homes are owner-occupied (a combined 76.0% owned outright or with a mortgage, 23.9% rented). The council is progressing upgrades to Beeliar Reserve and community facilities, a local Medicare urgent care clinic operates in the suburb, and other park and intersection works are under way. Whether Beeliar suits you will come down to the kind of neighbourhood and amenities you want.

At a median house price of $1,087,500, buying in Beeliar works out to about 9.5 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census, which places buying well above what people locally earned then. Renting looks more manageable by comparison: an average house rent of $750 a week would take about 34.0% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census (a sizeable share), while an average unit rent of $580 a week would take about 26.3% (a moderate share). If you're renting rather than buying, the rent share is the figure that matters most for your budget.

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 Beeliar as an investment, the value figures point to notable capital growth over the year, and the rent figures show how rental income moved. Units outperformed houses on both capital growth and rental growth this year; houses recorded strong price gains but only modest rent growth. Whether that pattern suits your goals and circumstances is for you to decide.
