Question 1

Is Koongamia a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Koongamia is a small, quietly residential pocket on Perth’s eastern fringe of the Darling Range, made up mainly of modest single-storey brick and timber homes in leafy streets. It is home to about 985 people with a median age of 37, and a mixed household profile in which couple families (with and without children) make up the largest share; roughly two-thirds of homes are owner-occupied and about one in three are rented.

Everyday life in Koongamia feels domestic and settled, with neighbourhood parks and local facilities such as the Gumnuts Family Centre and the Koongamia Community Health Centre. There is straightforward access to the larger Midland precinct for shopping, services and rail connections, and nearby hill reserves for bushwalking. Whether it suits you will depend on how much you value a low-key suburban lifestyle close to basic services and the hills.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Koongamia?

Accepted Answer

Houses for rent in Koongamia average about $650 a week. Against a typical local household income of $1,260 a week as recorded at the most recent Census, that rent would take roughly 52% of a household's weekly income, which is a large share. If you're 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.

Question 3

Is Koongamia a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Koongamia rose 9.6% over the past 12 months, a solid increase in the capital value of houses. If capital growth is your priority, that house value movement is the figure to focus on.

There isn't enough recent data here to show how rents or unit values moved over the same year, so this read is based on the house value change alone. Whether that level of house growth fits your investment goals will depend on your objectives and circumstances.

This information has been prepared without taking your objectives, needs and overall financial situation into account. It is not meant to be a substitute for professional financial advice. For this reason, you should consider the appropriateness of the information and, if necessary, seek appropriate professional advice.
