Warnbro is a coastal suburb in Perth’s southern suburbs with a long sandy beach, dune-lined foreshore and parks, giving a relaxed seaside feel. Housing is largely low-rise family homes and newer suburban estates, and the community of 10,828 people has a median age of 38. It is a suburb of families, with couple families with and without children together making up just over three-quarters of families, and about three-quarters of dwellings are owner-occupied.

Day-to-day life centres on swimming, surfing, coastal walks and local sporting fields, while larger Rockingham amenities are close by. Public transport is well established, with Warnbro train station on the Mandurah line and local bus links, and a local shopping and service precinct meets daily needs. The City of Rockingham has planned a major redevelopment of the Warnbro Community Recreation Centre and retains plans for additional outdoor recreation space and some transport corridor investigations. Whether that suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Housing costs in Warnbro sit well above what a typical local household earned at the last Census. A median house price of $820,000 works out to about 10.5 times a typical local annual household income at the last Census, which places buying well above local incomes. For renters, the average house rent of $620 a week would take about 41.2% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a large share of income. Whether that feels expensive will depend 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.

The clearest movement in Warnbro over the past 12 months is on houses: median house values climbed 19.2%, a strong rise. House rents rose 3.3% over the same period, a modest increase.

For someone weighing Warnbro up as an investment, that means house capital growth outpaced rental income this year — the price change was the stronger performer. Whether that balance fits your goals depends on what you want from an investment.
