About Carramar
Welcome to Carramar
Carramar sits in Perth's fast-growing northern corridor, roughly 25 kilometres from the CBD, wedged between the established streets of Tapping and Banksia Grove and the newer estates of Grove, Mariginiup and Neerabup. It's a suburb built largely around family living, with wide residential streets, modern homes and a strong sense of community that has developed alongside its rapid growth over the past couple of decades.
With a population of around 7,178 and a median age of 37, Carramar attracts young families and professionals looking for space and value without giving up easy access to the coast and the city. It's a suburb that suits people who want a settled, suburban lifestyle with room to grow into.
Housing & architecture
Carramar's housing stock is overwhelmingly made up of houses, with current listings running at 98% houses and just 2% land, reflecting a suburb that has largely built out its residential blocks. Homes here tend to be modern, single and double-storey builds from the 2000s and 2010s, many featuring the generous frontages and double garages typical of Perth's northern growth corridor.
The streetscapes are consistent in style, with brick-and-tile and rendered facades sitting comfortably alongside one another, and larger blocks than you'd typically find closer to the city. This makes Carramar popular with families wanting a backyard, side access, or room for a pool, without the price tag of established inner suburbs.
The property market
Carramar's median house price currently sits at $1.08 million, following strong growth of 21.3% over the recent period, a sign of the sustained buyer demand across Perth's north. Median rent is $850 per week, reflecting solid interest from tenants as well as owner-occupiers.
That combination of price growth and healthy rental returns has made Carramar a suburb worth watching for both first-home buyers stretching for a house-sized block and investors drawn to the numbers. Buyers should expect competition for well-presented homes, particularly those close to Carramar Primary School and the suburb's parks.
Schools & families
Carramar Primary School anchors the suburb's family appeal, giving local children a school within their own community rather than a drive to a neighbouring suburb. The surrounding streets are geared towards young households, with parks, cul-de-sacs and quiet roads that suit prams and bikes alike.
Families also have easy access to the broader network of schools and childcare options across Tapping and Banksia Grove, making Carramar a practical base for those with children moving through different school stages.
Getting around
Carramar's location in Perth's northern suburbs means most residents rely on cars for the daily commute, with good arterial road connections linking through to Wanneroo Road and onward to the Mitchell Freeway for trips into the city, about 25 kilometres to the south. Buses service the area, connecting Carramar to surrounding suburbs and nearby train stations.
The suburb's position near Banksia Grove and Tapping also means residents can access those suburbs' retail and service hubs without a long drive, while the ongoing development of the northern corridor continues to bring new infrastructure and transport upgrades closer to home.
Parks & recreation
Green space is a strong feature of Carramar's layout, with local parks scattered through the residential areas providing space for weekend sport, dog walks and kids' play. The suburb's proximity to Neerabup and its bushland reserves also offers residents a taste of natural bushland not far from home.
For those wanting bigger open spaces or coastal recreation, the beaches and reserves of Perth's northern coastal suburbs are a manageable drive away, making Carramar a handy base for weekend outings without sacrificing the quiet of suburban living.
