· Executive Properties
Perth is spread out, and where you live shapes your commute, your weekends and, for families, your school options. Most relocating professionals narrow the choice to one of four areas.
The coast.
Cottesloe, Swanbourne, City Beach, Scarborough, Trigg, North Beach and Sorrento suit people who want the beach as part of daily life. Cottesloe and Swanbourne have train access on the Fremantle line. Scarborough has the busiest foreshore, while Trigg and North Beach are quieter.
The western suburbs.
Claremont, Nedlands, Dalkeith and Mosman Park are popular with families because of the schools, the river and the short trip to the city. Nedlands is close to UWA and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, which suits medical and academic staff.
The inner city.
Perth city and the riverside apartment precincts suit professionals who want to walk to work and live close to restaurants and Kings Park.
The northern corridor.
Stirling and Balcatta offer newer homes close to Stirling station and the Mitchell Freeway, with the coast a short drive away.
Questions to settle first.
- Where is the office, and will you drive or take the train
- Do you need a particular school, and is it zoned
- How much space do you need, inside and out
- How long is the assignment, and could it extend
