About Carine
Welcome to Carine
Carine sits in Perth's northern suburbs, roughly 15 kilometres from the CBD, tucked between Karrinyup and Warwick with Gwelup, Hamersley and Stirling all close at hand. It's a leafy, established pocket known for its bushland reserve, wide streets and family-sized blocks, drawing a mix of long-term residents and upsizers who want space without giving up proximity to the coast.
With a median age of 43 and a population of 7,330, Carine has the settled, family-oriented feel of a suburb that people tend to stay in rather than pass through. It suits those chasing a quieter, established address close to good schools, bushland and the beaches of the western coastal strip.
Lifestyle & dining
Carine's day-to-day life revolves around its open spaces and the convenience of neighbouring shopping and dining precincts. Residents lean on nearby Karrinyup for its larger retail and cafe scene, while Stirling and Warwick add further options for casual dining, groceries and services just a short drive away. It's a suburb built more around backyard living and weekend sport than a bustling main street of its own, which is exactly the appeal for many who live here.
Shopping
For everyday needs, Carine residents typically head to Karrinyup Shopping Centre, one of Perth's larger retail hubs, offering a full range of fashion, department store and specialty shopping along with a solid dining and cinema offering. Stirling and Warwick provide additional convenience-based shopping, meaning most errands can be handled within a short drive without needing to head into the city.
Schools & families
Education is well catered for locally, with Carine Primary School and Carine Senior High School both serving the suburb directly. This has long made Carine attractive to families wanting a full schooling pathway without leaving the area, and it's a key reason the suburb holds a strong reputation among buyers with children.
Parks & recreation
Carine is best known locally for Carine Open Space, a substantial area of natural bushland and wetlands that anchors the suburb's outdoor lifestyle, offering walking trails, sporting ovals and a genuine sense of green space rare so close to the coast. Combined with the proximity to Trigg and Scarborough beaches beyond neighbouring suburbs, it gives residents an easy balance of bush and coastal recreation.
Housing & architecture
The current listings mix in Carine is overwhelmingly houses, at 93 per cent, with townhouses and apartments making up only small slices of the market at 4 per cent and 3 per cent respectively. This reflects the suburb's original development era and layout, dominated by larger blocks and single-family homes rather than higher-density housing, and it's part of why the suburb continues to attract buyers wanting space, established gardens and room to renovate or rebuild.
The property market
Carine's property market has performed strongly, with the median house price sitting at $1.73 million following growth of 20.2 per cent. That kind of movement points to sustained buyer demand for the suburb's larger blocks and family-friendly setting, particularly from those trading up within the northern suburbs. On the rental side, the median rent of $1,125 per week reflects the same premium positioning, appealing to tenants after a house-based lifestyle close to schools, parks and the coast rather than higher-density living.
Getting around
Carine's location around 15 kilometres north of the Perth CBD makes it a car-reliant suburb for most residents, with Mitchell Freeway access via nearby routes providing a relatively straightforward run into the city. Bus services link the suburb to surrounding areas and the Stirling and Warwick precincts, while the train line through Stirling station offers an alternative for those commuting further afield. The suburb's position among Gwelup, Karrinyup, Warwick, Hamersley and Stirling means most day-to-day trips are short, whether for schools, shopping or recreation.
