Question 1

Is Mount Claremont a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mount Claremont is a quiet, leafy western Perth suburb centred on the Lake Claremont wetlands and the Perry Lakes sporting reserve, so open green space and walking trails shape daily life. Residential streets have generous blocks with original mid-century single-storey homes alongside contemporary rebuilds, and the area sits within easy reach of Claremont's village shops and train line, plus straightforward access to nearby beaches and the city. Local life often revolves around outdoor recreation, school runs and weekend coffees in neighbouring shopping precincts.

About 4,999 people live in Mount Claremont; the median age is 45 and median household income is $2,835 a week. Families are the dominant household type and 82.7% of homes are owner-occupied, which contributes to a settled atmosphere. Several public projects are under way or planned, from a local Transperth bus depot to a Graylands Campus project that would bring a new forensic mental health campus and relocate the Claremont Therapeutic Riding Centre, while a Mount Claremont master plan signals possible redevelopment, a southern shopping location and new local roads and active-transport links. Whether this suits you depends on how much you value space, green reserves and easy access to shops and transport.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Mount Claremont?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Mount Claremont run to about $1,300 a week. Against the typical local household income recorded at the most recent Census ($2,835 a week), that rent would take roughly 46% of a typical local household's weekly income, which is a large share. If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the figure most relevant to you when judging how expensive the suburb feels.

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