Question 1

Is Chidlow a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Chidlow sits in the Perth Hills among jarrah and marri bushland, anchored by Lake Leschenaultia and the Railway Reserve Heritage Trail. It has a compact village centre and a relaxed rural-residential character, with weatherboard cottages and timber homes alongside larger hobby farms and acreages. The community of 1,821 people has a median age of 44 and a median total weekly household income of $1,971 a week, and families make up the bulk of households while about 89.4% of homes are owner-occupied.

Outdoor recreation shapes daily life here, with swimming, walking, cycling and abundant birdlife on the doorstep. The suburb appeals to people after a tree change and to residents who commute via the Great Eastern Highway. The Shire has several local projects under way, including a pavilion upgrade that will include an incident control centre, an RV rest stop behind the hall, a funded replacement of the Lake Leschenaultia toilet block and ongoing bushfire mitigation works. Whether Chidlow suits you comes down to whether that rural-residential, outdoors-oriented lifestyle matches what you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Chidlow?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent house or unit sales or rental listings in Chidlow (6556) to publish reliable median prices or rents. With only the suburb's median household income recorded at the most recent Census available, it's not possible to say how expensive housing is here compared with local incomes.

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

Is Chidlow a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer
