Top Perth Suburbs to Watch in 2025: Where to Buy for Growth

As we head deeper into 2025, Perth’s property market remains one of the most promising in Australia. With strong population growth, infrastructure investment, and rising interstate interest, the right suburb choice can mean the difference between an average purchase—and an exceptional one.

At Acquire Buyers Agency, we work across all parts of Perth, from established riverside neighbourhoods to emerging growth corridors. Based on current trends and local insight, here are our top suburbs to watch in 2025.

1. Willetton – Family Favourite with Long-Term Appeal

Willetton continues to attract buyers thanks to its top-performing schools, spacious blocks, and convenient location.

• ✅ In-demand school zones (especially Willetton Senior High)
• 🛍️ Proximity to Southlands Shopping Centre and transport links
• 🏡 Mix of established homes and modern infill

Ideal for: Families, upgraders, long-term investors

2. Balcatta – Northern Suburb on the Rise

Balcatta has been flying under the radar, but savvy buyers are taking notice. With great access to the city, coastal drives, and new townhouse developments, it’s fast becoming a hotspot.

• 🚗 Easy access to Mitchell Freeway and Scarborough Beach
• 🛠 Gentrification and development activity increasing
• 💰 More affordable than neighbouring suburbs like Innaloo or Joondanna

Ideal for: First home buyers, investors, developers

3. Beaconsfield – Undervalued Fremantle Fringe

Beaconsfield sits just inland from Fremantle and offers many of the same lifestyle benefits—without the premium price tag.

• 🌊 Close to South Beach and cafes
• 🏗 Urban renewal and rezoning under way
• 🏫 Near popular schools and transport

Ideal for: Lifestyle-focused buyers, character home seekers, land-bankers

4. Forrestfield – Infrastructure-Boosted Growth

Perth’s airport rail link and future infrastructure upgrades continue to boost interest in Forrestfield and surrounding areas.

• 🚉 Connected by Airport Line
• 🌳 Leafy streets and foothills charm
• 💸 Competitive entry price point

Ideal for: Investors chasing yield and growth, first-time buyers

5. Hammond Park – Emerging Southern Corridor

This relatively new suburb is part of Perth’s rapidly growing south. With young families and developers moving in, it’s one to watch.

• 🏘️ Modern homes and family-friendly planning
• 🛣 Quick access to Kwinana Freeway and Aubin Grove Station
• 🏫 Schools and local shopping centres expanding fast

Ideal for: Young families, investors seeking new builds or land

What Makes These Suburbs Stand Out?

Each of these suburbs offers a unique combination of:

• 🧠 Buyer demand and low days-on-market
• 🚧 Infrastructure investment or rezoning
