Question 1

Is Inglewood a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Inglewood is an established inner-northern Perth suburb tucked between Mount Lawley and Maylands. It has a low-rise residential feel, with tree-lined streets of interwar bungalows and single-storey brick homes alongside pockets of contemporary infill. A modest shopping and café strip meets day-to-day needs, while small parks and community facilities suit families and people who prefer a quieter local pace. Regular bus services and easy road access make commuting straightforward, and the Swan River foreshore and riverside reserves are close by for recreation.

The community of 5,837 has a median age of 39 and a median household income of $2,031 a week. Families are prominent, with about 86% of families the couple-household types, and homes are mostly owner-occupied (65.4%) while 34.6% are rented. Local works include a planned early learning centre at Grand Promenade Reserve, a completed $420,000 upgrade to toilets and car parking, the relocation of the Little Athletics Centre, and traffic and funding measures for local improvements. Whether Inglewood suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Inglewood?

Accepted Answer

Compared with what local households earned as recorded at the most recent Census, housing costs in Inglewood sit notably above those incomes. A median house price of $1,576,500 is about 14.9 times a typical local household's annual income at the most recent Census (weekly income $2,031 × 52 = $105,612). For renters, the average house rent of $820 a week would take about 40.3% of a typical local household's weekly income at the most recent Census, while the average unit rent of $600 a week would take about 29.5%. On these figures, buying sits well above local incomes, while renting would take a large share for houses and a moderate share for units.

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 Inglewood a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months house values in Inglewood climbed 26.9%, a strong rise, while unit values rose 15.2%, also a strong increase. On the rental side, house rents increased 5.1% and unit rents increased 9.1% over the same period. Put together, house prices have grown much faster than the rents those houses earned, and unit values also outpaced unit rents though by a smaller margin.

If capital growth is your priority, the value figures are the most relevant; if rental income matters more, focus on the rent movements. Whether that pattern suits your goals and circumstances is for you to weigh.
