Question 1

Is Redcliffe a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Redcliffe is an established residential suburb in Perth’s eastern suburbs, with quiet, tree-lined streets and a predominance of single-storey post-war homes alongside pockets of renovated and newer infill. It sits next to light industrial and commercial areas, giving it a down-to-earth, working-suburb character. Local life revolves around a modest shopping strip, community facilities, parks and sporting reserves, and there are regular bus services plus nearby arterial roads for straightforward links to surrounding centres and the city. The suburb also has a METRONET station on the Airport Line with a park-and-ride of roughly 500 bays, and the nearby Dunreath Village shopping centre includes Woolworths, Priceline and food outlets within walking distance of the station.

With a population of 5,030 and a median age of 38, Redcliffe is weighted towards couple families—the largest group are couple families with children at 41.9%—and homes are more often owner-occupied than rented, with about 58.8% owned outright or with a mortgage. That mix, together with the local shops, parks and public transport, makes it practical for families and first-home buyers. There are also plans for an activity centre around the station, a new central open-space corridor and upgrades to Redcliffe Primary School, which may add to everyday conveniences over time.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Redcliffe?

Accepted Answer

Buying a house in Redcliffe (6104) sits well above local incomes at the last Census: the median house price of $985,000 is about 12.1 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census (weekly household income $1,565 × 52 = $81,380).

Renting also takes a large share of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census. A house rent of $750 a week is about 48.0% of that weekly income, while a unit rent of $620 a week is about 39.6%. If you're renting rather than buying, those rent shares are the figure that matters and whether they feel expensive depends 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 Redcliffe a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Unit values in Redcliffe climbed 39.4% over the past 12 months, a strong increase, while house values also rose strongly, up 20.5%. Rents moved more modestly: house rents increased a solid 7.1% and unit rents rose 3.3%.

Put simply, the figures point to notably stronger capital growth in units this year, while rental income grew more modestly and rose faster for houses than for units. Which of those outcomes matters most will depend on your own goals and circumstances.
