Question 1

Is Mariginiup a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mariginiup is a rural-residential locality on Perth’s northern fringe with large lots, hobby farms and patches of native bush and wetlands. Properties range from older farmhouses to more recent low-density homes, and many blocks have sheds, stables or paddocks that suit horse owners and small-scale growers. The suburb feels quiet and private, with a country atmosphere and plenty of outdoor space for walking and birdwatching, while everyday shops, schools and services are found in nearby suburban centres. It will appeal to people who want acreage living within a manageable drive of the coast and the city’s northern suburbs.

About 876 people live in Mariginiup, with a median age of 43, and families make up the bulk of households. Homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied, and the area is part of the East Wanneroo growth area where precincts have been approved and initial work is underway. Plans identify a future transit station, a neighbourhood shopping centre, new schools and parkland links, and the local draft plan provides for multiple educational and community facilities plus sport and recreation infrastructure; federal funding has also been allocated to widen a local road through Mariginiup. Whether that suits you depends on whether you want rural space combined with planned new amenities.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
