Question 1

Is Beldon a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Beldon is a quietly suburban, practical residential area in Perth’s northern suburbs, a short drive from the coast. Housing mixes established single-storey brick homes from the 1970s and 1980s with pockets of newer infill and townhouse developments, and that mix attracts young families, first-home buyers and downsizers. Daily life here tends to centre on backyard space, local recreation and easy beach access.

Families dominate the household mix — couple families with and without children make up about four in five households — and roughly four in five homes are owner-occupied, so the area leans towards settled ownership rather than renting. There are parks, playgrounds and sporting ovals, a small local shopping strip and regular bus links to the Joondalup train line and larger retail and medical services at Joondalup. Council works and nearby park projects are adding upgrades to parks, school facilities and a BMX track, so whether Beldon suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Beldon?

Accepted Answer

With a typical local household earning $1,905 a week at the last Census, a house priced at $981,000 works out to about 9.9 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census, which sits well above local incomes. Renting a house at about $750 a week would take roughly 39.3% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a sizeable share of income. On these figures, both buying and renting houses in Beldon look stretched against what local households recorded at the last Census; 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.

Question 3

Is Beldon a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months Beldon saw a large rise in median house values, which climbed 16.7%. House rents also increased, up 7.1% over the year, a solid rise but noticeably smaller than the change in value.

For someone weighing Beldon up as an investment, the figures show capital growth has been the stronger performer this year while rental income has also improved. Whether that pattern suits your goals depends on your own objectives and circumstances.
