Question 1

Is Walliston a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Walliston is a quiet, semi-rural suburb in Perth’s eastern foothills, part of the Kalamunda area on the Darling Scarp. It feels green and bushy with surrounding eucalypt reserves and rolling terrain, and housing is low-density with established homes on larger blocks and some rural-residential properties. The suburb suits people who want more outdoor space and a slower pace while keeping access to Kalamunda’s village services and commuter links to Midland and Perth. Residents use nearby walking trails, enjoy home gardens and a relaxed Hills-style lifestyle.

Walliston is a small community of 1,016 people with a median age of 40. The typical household brings in $1,887 a week, which is about $98,100 a year.

Among family households, couple families with children are the largest group at 47.2%. Couple families without children make up 37.2%, so together the two couple family types account for more than four in five family households. One-parent families represent 13.8% and other families 1.8%.

Homes in Walliston are predominantly owner-occupied, at 84.9% combined (39.0% owned outright and 45.9% owned with a mortgage), while renters make up 15.1% of dwellings.

Question 2

Walliston hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable current prices or rents. Without those figures, it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live here compared with local incomes; the typical local household's income at the last Census was $1,887 a week.

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