About Chittering
Welcome to Chittering
Chittering sits roughly an hour north-east of Perth's CBD, in the valley of the same name that gives the wider shire its identity. It's a rural landscape of granite outcrops, farmland and bushland, with the Chittering Valley itself known for wineries, olive groves and horse studs rather than any conventional town centre.
This is a suburb for people who want space and a genuine rural lifestyle without giving up a workable commute to Perth. With a population of just 1,034 and a median age of 44, Chittering attracts established families, tree-changers and lifestyle-block buyers rather than first-home hunters, and it sits alongside Lower Chittering as one of the valley's two defining localities.
Lifestyle & dining
Life in Chittering revolves around the land and the valley scenery. Weekends are spent tending acreage, riding horses or visiting the small cellar doors and produce sellers scattered through the valley, which has built a modest reputation as a food-and-wine day-trip destination for Perth visitors. It's a quiet, unhurried kind of place, where neighbours tend to know each other and the nearest café strip or shopping centre is a deliberate drive rather than a stroll.
Getting around
Chittering is well served by the Great Northern Highway, which runs through the valley and provides the main link south to Perth and north towards the Wheatbelt and beyond. Most residents rely on private cars, as public transport options are limited in this rural setting, and larger errands typically mean a trip into Bullsbrook, Muchea or further into Perth's northern suburbs. The trade-off for that drive is the acreage, quiet roads and open skies that come with living this far out.
Schools & families
Families in Chittering generally look to schools in neighbouring towns and the wider shire, with children often bussed or driven to primary and secondary options outside the immediate locality. The appeal here is less about walk-to-school convenience and more about raising kids with room to roam, horses in the paddock and a slower pace of life, which suits the area's mature, family-oriented population.
Parks & recreation
The valley's real drawcard is its outdoor character rather than manicured parks. Rolling hills, granite formations and patches of remnant bushland make Chittering popular with those who enjoy riding, walking and simply living among nature, and the broader Chittering Valley is a well-known scenic drive and day-trip route for Perth residents seeking a rural escape.
Housing & architecture
Property in Chittering is dominated by larger holdings rather than standard suburban blocks. Current listings show houses make up 69% of stock, with land sites at 27% and acreage or rural properties at 4%, reflecting a market built around lifestyle acreage, hobby farms and rural homesteads rather than tight subdivisions. Homes here range from established farmhouses to newer builds designed to make the most of valley outlooks and larger landholdings.
The property market
Chittering's property market has moved sharply in recent times, with the median house price now sitting at $1.23 million after growth of 28.7%. That's a substantial run for a small rural locality, and it points to strong demand for lifestyle acreage within commuting distance of Perth. With land and rural listings making up close to a third of current stock, buyers here are typically weighing up house-and-land value against the premium attached to larger, well-positioned holdings in the valley, alongside comparable opportunities in neighbouring Lower Chittering.
