Question 1

Is Two Rocks a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Two Rocks is a relaxed coastal suburb on Perth’s northern fringe, centred on a small marina, a beachfront reserve and a compact village shopping strip. Boating, fishing and shoreline walks are regular pastimes, and housing ranges from older beach cottages to more recent low-rise coastal developments. The community includes long-term locals, sea-change retirees and families who value quieter living while still accessing larger services nearby, and the suburb sits close to coastal dunes and national park bushland, giving it an outdoor-oriented feel.

About 3,822 people live in Two Rocks, with a median age of 39, and the area is strongly weighted toward couple households with and without children. Homes are predominantly owner-occupied (83.0%) with renters at 16.9%, and the median total household income is $1,526 a week. Public works at the marina are under way and a marina master plan guides longer-term change, while the City is progressing a beach access and foreshore improvements. Whether it suits you comes down to whether you want a coastal, outdoors-focused, largely owner-occupied community.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Two Rocks?

Accepted Answer

A median house price of $800,000 in Two Rocks works out to about 10.1 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census. The median weekly household income at the last Census was $1,526, which is $79,352 a year, so on these figures buying a house sits well above what people locally earned at the last Census.

For renters, the average house rent of $600 a week is about 39.3% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, which is a sizeable share. That means buying sits farther above local incomes than renting does on these figures, and 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 Two Rocks a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Over the past 12 months in Two Rocks, median house values rose 43.2%, a strong increase. House rents climbed 1.7% over the same period, a slight rise, so price growth has far outpaced growth in rental income this year. If rental income is your priority, the rent movement is the figure that matters; if capital growth is what you seek, the large rise in house values is the standout. Whether that balance suits you depends on your own goals and circumstances.
