Question 1

Is Mundaring a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mundaring is a leafy Perth Hills town on the Darling Range, anchored by the historic Mundaring Weir and a compact village centre of cafes, shops and community facilities. Native jarrah and marri bush surrounds the area and feeds a network of walking and mountain bike trails, including sections of the Railway Reserve Heritage Trail, so outdoor recreation and picnics by the water are a regular part of local life. Housing ranges from early timber and brick cottages near the town to larger bush blocks and rural-residential properties, suiting people after a quieter, country-style lifestyle with straightforward road links to the metropolitan area.

The community numbers about 3,190 people with a median age of 50 and is strongly family-oriented, with most homes owner-occupied rather than rented. The Shire is progressing a Mundaring Town Centre Revitalisation centred on a new Mundaring Cultural Hub, budgeted at $25 million with federal support, that is planned to include a library, art gallery, local history museum, visitor centre and flexible community spaces, alongside streetscape works and upgrades to Sculpture Park and other civic and youth facilities. Whether Mundaring suits you will depend on how much you value outdoor recreation, a village centre and an established, mostly owner-occupied community.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Mundaring?

Accepted Answer

Buying in Mundaring sits well above local incomes. The median house price of $1,215,000 is about 13.2 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census (typical household income then was $1,773 a week, or $92,196 a year). For people considering purchase, that price multiple is the clearest measure of how buying compares with what local households earned at the last Census.

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 Mundaring a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Mundaring rose 9.4% over the past 12 months, a solid increase in what houses are worth locally. That movement is the capital growth shown by houses over the year.

There isn't enough recent data here for unit values or for rent movements, so the available picture is limited to house prices. Whether that level of house growth suits your investment goals depends on your own priorities and circumstances.
