Wembley, Perth
Property insights
Wembley (Perth) is a leafy inner‑west suburb beside Lake Monger with strong family appeal, excellent schools, a village‑style Cambridge Street strip and solid capital growth. Learn about property types, prices (2025–26 snapshot), transport, amenities and practical tips for buyers.
Tips for Buyers
- 1.Prioritise properties near Cambridge Street bus stops or within easy bike/bus distance to West Leederville/Subiaco stations if public transport access matters.
- 2.Inspect local schools (Wembley Primary, Bold Park campus) and confirm catchment rules for preferred high schools.
- 3.Factor renovation potential into offers — original cottages can offer value but renovated homes command a premium.
- 4.Use Transperth Journey Planner to test commute times from specific addresses before bidding.
- 5.Expect a competitive market for lakefront/close‑to‑Cambridge‑St homes — be prepared if you need to act quickly.
Common Property Types

Who Lives Here
Population ~11–12k (ABS 2021). Relatively high household incomes, many professionals and established families; owner‑occupier dominated with rental demand from professionals and students.
Transport
- • Major bus routes on Cambridge Street including routes such as 81, 82, 83, 84 and 85 (check Transperth for current timetables)
- • No train station inside Wembley — nearest stations: Subiaco, West Leederville, Leederville, Glendalough/Stirling (short bus/bike transfer)
- • Driving to Perth CBD: ~10–25 minutes off‑peak, 20–35 minutes peak
- • Public transport to CBD typically ~15–30 minutes with a good connection (allow longer in peak/shoulder periods)
Schools
- • Wembley Primary School (41 Grantham St, Wembley)
- • Bold Park Community School — Wembley campus (Powis St, Wembley)
- • Subiaco Primary School (nearby)
- • West Leederville Primary School (nearby)
Amenities

Strong buyer demand and price growth through the mid‑2020s has favoured renovations and medium‑density infill. Limited large blocks and high desirability close to CBD and parks suggest continued upward pressure on values for well‑located, renovated houses.
