Question 1

Is Trigg a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Trigg is a compact coastal suburb on Perth’s northern beaches, centred on Trigg Beach and the rocky outcrop known as Trigg Island. It has a strong surf culture — reef breaks and rockpools draw surfers, swimmers and families — and the foreshore reserve and coastal paths give outlooks and picnic spots. The streets behind the shore mix older weatherboard cottages, renovated villas and low-rise beachfront apartments. The community numbers 2,855, with a median age of 43 and a median household income of $2,779 a week, and the area is family-oriented by the numbers. Homes are mostly owner-occupied, with 88.3% owned outright or with a mortgage.

Day-to-day life revolves around the beach and the foreshore, and the suburb has reasonable access to the city via West Coast Drive and local bus links. Several council-led coastal and community works are under way or planned, from a Coastal Boardwalk feasibility to improved pedestrian access, a CoastSnap monitoring station at Mettams Pool, additional raised crossings on West Coast Drive, the Trigg Bushland Story Trail with interpretive signage and the named surf lookout Laney’s Lookout. Whether Trigg suits you comes down to whether a relaxed beachside lifestyle is what you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Trigg?

Accepted Answer

Rents in Trigg run to about $1,100 a week for houses and $670 a week for units. Against a typical local household income at the last Census, that house rent would be about 39.6% of weekly income and the unit rent about 24.1%.

On these figures, renting a house would take a sizeable share of a typical local household's income at the last Census, while renting a unit would take a moderate share. Whether that feels 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 Trigg a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months in Trigg, house values climbed a strong 26.1% while house rents rose a strong 14.6%. The value change speaks to capital growth and the rent change to rental income, and on the house side capital growth outpaced rent growth this year.

Which of those outcomes matters to you depends on your goals: buyers prioritising capital gains will note the larger jump in values, while investors focused on income will pay attention to the solid rent rise. Whether that balance suits your circumstances is for you to decide.
