Serpentine is a small rural town in Perth’s outer southern corridor, centred on the Serpentine River and surrounded by farmland, lifestyle blocks and bushland. The community of 2,863 people has a median age of 45 and is overwhelmingly owner-occupied (92.1%), and households are strongly family-oriented. Housing ranges from older cottages to larger residential lots and hobby farms that suit horse owners and small-scale growers.

The town has a modest main street with local shops and community facilities, and outdoor life is a strong draw with river reserves and nearby bushland for walking and riding. A shared access path links the town centre with Serpentine National Park, and Serpentine Primary School has received a Schools Upgrade Fund payment for ICT equipment. That combination of space, local amenities and easy access to bushland will suit people after more room and a quieter, country-town atmosphere; whether it suits you depends on what you value in a place to live.

Serpentine hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. Because only the suburb's median household income as recorded at the most recent Census is available, it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live in Serpentine compared with local incomes.

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