About Craigie
Welcome to Craigie
Craigie sits in Perth's northern coastal corridor, about 22 kilometres north of the CBD, wedged between the established family suburbs of Beldon, Kallaroo, Padbury, Woodvale and Mullaloo. It's a suburb built largely in the 1970s and 80s boom of Perth's north, and it still carries that character today: wide streets, generous blocks and a settled, leafy feel rather than the tight infill you find closer to the city.
With a population of 6,456 and a median age of 35, Craigie skews toward families and long-term owners rather than renters or first-home buyers chasing density. It suits people who want space, a backyard, and easy access to the coast without paying beachfront prices — the kind of buyer who's happy to drive five minutes to the water rather than live right on top of it.
Housing & architecture
Craigie is overwhelmingly a house suburb — current listings put houses at 94% of the mix, with townhouses, land and apartments making up small slivers of the remainder. Expect brick-and-tile family homes on generous suburban blocks, many dating from the 1970s and 80s, alongside a scattering of more recently renovated or rebuilt properties.
The housing stock's age means there's a healthy renovation and knockdown-rebuild market alongside original-condition homes, giving buyers a genuine choice between moving straight in or adding value over time. Blocks tend to be larger than newer estates further north, which is a big part of the suburb's appeal for growing families.
The property market
Craigie's median house price currently sits at $960k, following growth of 22.1% recently — a strong run that reflects broader demand for established, larger-block suburbs in Perth's northern coastal belt. Median rent is $700 a week, putting Craigie firmly in family-rental territory rather than the share-house or unit-rental market.
With houses dominating the listings mix and land parcels scarce, most buyer competition centres on existing homes rather than vacant blocks or new builds. That scarcity of land, combined with proximity to the coast and good schools, has been a key driver of the price growth.
Getting around
Craigie is a car-oriented suburb, as is typical for this part of Perth, with Marmion Avenue and Whitfords Avenue providing the main arterial links to surrounding suburbs and the freeway network. Whitfords train station, on the Joondalup line, is a short drive away and gives residents a direct rail connection into the Perth CBD, making the suburb workable for commuters who don't mind a brief drive to the platform.
Bus routes connect Craigie to neighbouring Padbury, Kallaroo and Woodvale, as well as to the Whitfords precinct, and the coast at Mullaloo is only a few minutes away by car for those after an early surf or beach walk before work.
Schools & families
Families are well catered for locally, with Craigie Heights Primary School and Whitford Catholic Primary School both serving the immediate area. The suburb's mix of established homes, larger blocks and quiet residential streets has long made it a drawcard for families wanting space to raise kids without leaving the northern beaches lifestyle behind.
Secondary options and further schooling are readily accessible in neighbouring suburbs, and the suburb's median age of 35 points to a solid base of younger and middle-aged families alongside longer-term residents who've stayed put for decades.
Parks & recreation
Craigie's residential streets are dotted with local parks and reserves typical of its era of development, giving families and dog walkers plenty of green space close to home. The suburb's real recreational drawcard, though, is its proximity to the coast — Mullaloo Beach and the broader Whitfords foreshore are just a short drive away, offering swimming, surfing and coastal walking tracks that many Craigie residents treat as an extension of their own backyard.
The nearby Whitfords precinct also brings sporting clubs, ovals and community facilities within easy reach, rounding out a suburb that balances quiet residential living with genuine outdoor lifestyle appeal.
