Bullsbrook is a semi-rural outer-northern Perth suburb centred on a compact townsite surrounded by broadacre farmland and rural-residential blocks. It blends older farmhouses and newer estate developments and attracts families, hobby farmers and tradespeople seeking acreage and a quieter pace while remaining connected to the city’s northern transport corridors. The community of 5,605, with a median age of 38, is dominated by owner-occupation at 84.0%.

Local shops, community facilities and sporting ovals support everyday life, and paddocks, horse properties and pockets of bushland give a country feel alongside expanding industrial and service activity on the fringes. Masterplans and community workshops for a district open space and community centre have been completed, and local park and sports-club upgrades are planned or under way. The suburb tends to suit households after space, owner-occupation and a semi-rural setting, with future school sites and a district centre identified in the townsite plan.

A house rent of $750 a week in Bullsbrook 6084 would take about 39.3% of a typical local household's weekly income as recorded at the most recent Census. The suburb's median house price of $876,000 is roughly 8.8 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census, which places buying well above local incomes at that time.

On these figures, renting would use a sizeable share of a typical local household's income at the last Census, while buying sits at a high multiple of that income. Which of those feels expensive will depend on your own income and circumstances and whether you plan to rent or buy.

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

On the house side in Bullsbrook the figures show a modest 3.2% rise in median values over the past 12 months, while house rents climbed a solid 5.6%. That means rental income for houses increased faster than their capital growth this year, so the rent a house earns has been the stronger performer. Which of those matters more to you depends on whether you prioritise rental income or capital growth.
