Question 1

Is Noranda a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Noranda is an established, tree-lined suburb in Perth’s north-eastern suburbs, with streets dominated by single-storey brick homes from the 1970s and 80s and pockets of newer infill and townhouses near main roads. Everyday life is centred on a modest local shopping strip, community reserves and sports grounds, and local bus services plus nearby arterial roads make it straightforward to reach larger retail and employment hubs.

Home to 8,002 people with a median age of 45 and a median household income of $1,632 a week, Noranda is a suburb of families — about 84% of families are couples with or without children — and most homes are owner-occupied (83.2%). It now has a METRONET station on the Morley–Ellenbrook line providing a direct rail link into the Perth network, alongside local upgrades to parks and sporting facilities, road projects and a city-wide CCTV upgrade that includes the Noranda Sporting Complex. That mix suits people after an established home with backyard space and improving local transport and facilities; whether it feels right for you depends on what you’re looking for.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Noranda?

Accepted Answer

Buying looks stretched against local incomes: a median house price of $1,350,000 in Noranda works out to about 15.9 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census. For renters, $793 a week for a house would take about 48.6% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, while $620 a week for a unit would take about 38.0%.

On these figures, renting already takes a sizeable to large share of a typical local household's income at the last Census, and buying sits well above local incomes. Whether that feels expensive will depend on your own income and 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 Noranda a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

The past year in Noranda saw strong gains in property values: median house values rose 23.7% and median unit values rose 25.6%. Rents also increased, but more modestly, with house rents up 5.7% and unit rents up 9.2% over the same period.

For someone weighing Noranda as an investment, the value figures reflect notable capital growth over the 12 months while the rent figures show a solid lift in rental income. Units were the stronger performer this year on both measures, with larger rises in value and in rent than houses. Whether that balance fits your goals and circumstances is something only you can judge.
