Question 1

Is Daglish a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Daglish is a compact, leafy inner-west Perth suburb centred on its train station on the Fremantle line, with a quiet residential character and streets of single-storey interwar and Californian bungalows. The community of about 1,550 people has a median age of 39. It is a suburb of families: couple families with children are 51.6% and, with couple families without children, make up about 85.8% of families. About two in three homes are owner-occupied and roughly one in three are rented.

Commercial amenities within Daglish are minimal, so residents head to nearby Subiaco and West Leederville for cafés, boutique shops and weekend markets. Daglish station is on the Fremantle and Airport lines; recent rail works upgraded turnback infrastructure and station facilities, and further station upgrade work and public art planning are in progress. The suburb tends to suit professionals, young families and downsizers who value its village-like streetscape, easy public transport and close access to parkland and community facilities.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Daglish?

Accepted Answer

Renting in Daglish looks stretched against local household incomes recorded at the last Census. A house rent of $873 a week would take about 40.9% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, which is a large share of income. A unit at $590 a week would take about 27.6% of that weekly income, a moderate share. If you are renting rather than buying, those rent shares are the most relevant numbers for judging how costly it would feel.

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 Daglish a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months Daglish's median house value climbed 42.1%, a strong rise in what houses are worth. House rents fell 3.0% over the same period, a modest decline, so for house owners capital growth rather than rental income was the dominant movement this year.

Unit rents rose 31.1% over the year, a strong jump, so if rental income is your priority the unit side shows the larger rent movement. Whether that pattern suits your investment goals and circumstances is for you to weigh up.
