Armadale, WA
As property prices across Perth continue their upward trend, suburbs that combine affordability with strong growth prospects are becoming increasingly rare. Armadale, in the city’s south-eastern corridor, is one of the few suburbs that still offers both - and it’s catching the attention of investors for all the right reasons.
According to recent data reviewed by Australian Property Research, Armadale has delivered an impressive 39.4% capital growth over the past 12 months, all while maintaining a median house price of just $545,000.
In a tightening market where value is becoming harder to find, this kind of performance positions Armadale as a standout opportunity for those looking to enter or expand their portfolio in Perth.
Located only 26 kilometres from the Perth CBD, Armadale is well-connected with public transport - including a direct rail line to the city - and is supported by an expanding road network that includes the major $2.3 billion Armadale Road upgrade.
This infrastructure investment is helping to underpin local economic growth and enhance long-term liveability.
The suburb’s appeal stretches beyond just numbers. Armadale offers a well-rounded lifestyle supported by established retail centres, quality schools, green spaces and a growing café and services scene. Its mix of urban convenience and natural surrounds attracts a diverse population, from families and professionals, to retirees and long-term tenants.
The rental market also tells a compelling story. With a median rental yield of 5.4%, Armadale continues to deliver steady cash flow, making it especially appealing to investors looking to balance capital growth with strong returns.
The housing stock in Armadale is equally diverse, featuring everything from character homes to modern estates and acreage properties on the urban fringe. This range creates flexibility for different investment strategies - whether targeting first-home buyers, families, or renters seeking lifestyle on a budget.
At Australian Property Research, we consider Armadale to be a suburb with genuine long-term upside. Demand is being driven not just by local buyers, but also by interstate investors who recognise Perth’s relative affordability and economic resilience.
In a market where many suburbs have already peaked, Armadale still offers headroom. With infrastructure upgrades underway, improving amenity, and continued demand for housing, we expect this area's growth trajectory to remain strong well into the future.
