Question 1

Is Langford a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Langford is a predominantly residential suburb in Perth’s south-eastern suburbs, within the City of Gosnells. Streets mix established single-storey brick homes with pockets of newer infill townhouses, and day-to-day life centres on a village shopping centre, the Langford Community Centre, several parks and sporting reserves, plus schools including Brookman Primary, St Jude’s Catholic Primary and Al-Ameen College (Langford campus). Regular bus services and easy access to major roads make it straightforward to reach nearby centres such as Cannington for larger retail and services.

The suburb’s community of about 5,505 people has a median age of 36 and is mostly owner-occupied (65.7% owned, 34.3% rented), with around three in four families being couple families. The area appeals to first-home buyers, young families and downsizers looking for an affordable, connected suburban base with nearby green space, and there are local upgrades under way at the community centre and pre-school, including lighting, fencing and a security swipe-card system.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Langford?

Accepted Answer

A median house price of $763,750 in Langford works out to about 11.1 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census (weekly household income $1,318), so buying sits well above what households locally earned at the last Census.

Renting a house at about $680 a week would take roughly 52% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, which is a large share. On these figures, both buying and renting look stretched against local incomes; whether that feels expensive will depend on your own circumstances.

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 Langford a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months in Langford, house values climbed 15.6%, a strong rise, while house rents rose 6.6%, a solid increase. Put another way, the capital value of houses has increased more sharply than the rent they earn this year. Which of those outcomes matters to you depends on whether you prioritise capital growth or rental income as an investor.
