Question 1

Is Jindalee a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Jindalee is a quiet coastal suburb on Perth’s northern beaches, with a sandy shoreline, coastal dunes and reserves that invite beach walks, fishing and family days outdoors. The neighbourhood is mainly low-rise, single-family housing set among parks and pockets of native bush, and it appeals to families, retirees and anyone after a relaxed seaside lifestyle. Local services are modest and centred on small shopping spots.

The community of 4,044 people has a median age of 36 and is strongly family-oriented, with couple families with children the largest group at 52.6%. Homes are predominantly owner-occupied, about four in five households, while renters make up roughly one in five. Bus routes link to Butler and Alkimos stations on the Joondalup line and road access is via Marmion Avenue and the Mitchell Freeway extension; the northern corridor has also been supported by the METRONET Yanchep rail extension. There are no significant new public infrastructure or civic-amenity projects in Jindalee at present. Whether it suits you depends on whether a relaxed seaside suburb with modest local services and good regional links fits your needs.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Jindalee?

Accepted Answer

Buying a house in Jindalee at a median of $1,180,000 works out to about 8.5 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census (weekly household income $2,685, annualised to $139,620). Renting tells a different story: a house rent of $800 a week would take about 29.8% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, roughly a third and a moderate share. On these figures, buying is considerably more stretched against local incomes than renting is.

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 Jindalee a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months house values in Jindalee rose 23.9%, a strong gain, while house rents increased 8.4%, a solid rise. Put simply, capital growth on houses has outpaced the growth in the rent those houses earn this year.

For someone weighing Jindalee as an investment, the figures show where the movement has been this year: larger price appreciation than rental growth. Whether that balance suits you depends on your own goals and circumstances.
