Falcon is a relaxed coastal suburb on the Peel coast south of Mandurah, centred on a long sandy beach, dune systems and foreshore reserves. It feels quieter than the city, with predominantly low-rise housing ranging from older beach cottages to newer family homes, and a mix of permanent residents and holidaymakers. Local life revolves around the shoreline, coastal walks, parks and small local shops, while larger shops, dining and rail services in Mandurah are within easy reach.

The community numbers 5,531 people and has a median age of 50, with the family mix dominated by couples and about three in four homes owner-occupied. Several local projects are planned or under way, including a Falcon Coastal Shared Path with design work complete, a playground concept for Olive Park Reserve, practical completion of new social housing apartments, nature-play and STEM upgrades at Falcon Primary School, state funding to begin infill sewerage services, and a Men’s Shed at concept stage. Whether Falcon suits you will depend on whether a seaside, slower pace fits what you want.

In Falcon, a typical local household earned about $1,207 a week at the last Census. With house rent around $578 a week, renting a house would take roughly 47.9% of that weekly household income, a large share. Buying is more stretched: the median house price of $780,000 is about 12.4 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census, which sits well above local incomes. If you are renting rather than buying, that rent share is the number that matters when weighing costs here.

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

A strong 11.9% rise in house values over the past 12 months shows notable capital growth for houses in Falcon. House rents increased 5.1% over the same period, a solid rise in rental income. That means house prices have grown faster than rents this year, and whether that balance suits your investment goals depends on your individual circumstances.
