Question 1

Is Kallaroo a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Kallaroo is a relaxed coastal suburb on Perth’s northern fringe with ready access to Mullaloo Beach and its foreshore reserve. It feels residential and low-key, with tree-lined streets of mostly single-level family homes, some renovated and newer builds, parks and coastal walking trails. Residents tend to be families and people who favour a beachside lifestyle while still using Joondalup’s larger shopping and transport options; regular bus links connect to the train line and nearby hubs. Families dominate the community and homes are predominantly owner-occupied, with a median age of 45 and a median household income of $2,108 a week.

There is active local investment in schools and community facilities. Springfield Primary School is being redeveloped and a new early childhood facility is planned, and council proposals target upgrades to Northshore Drive and beach car park access while the Rob Baddock Community Hall is listed for improvements. Whether Kallaroo suits you will come down to whether a settled, beachside suburb with nearby Joondalup services fits your needs.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Kallaroo?

Accepted Answer

At $1,470,000, the median house in Kallaroo works out to about 13.4 times a typical local household's annual income as recorded at the most recent Census, which places buying well above what households earned at that Census. Renting a house at about $850 a week would take roughly 40.3% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a large share of income. For most readers, the rent share is the number that matters if you plan to rent, while the price multiple is the relevant measure if you plan to buy.

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 Kallaroo a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Kallaroo rose 21.7% over the past 12 months, a strong increase, while the rent those houses earn climbed 6.2% over the same period, a solid gain.

Put simply, capital growth in houses outpaced rental income this year; whether that balance suits you depends on whether you prioritise price growth or rental returns and on your own goals and circumstances.
