About Inglewood
Welcome to Inglewood
Inglewood sits about five kilometres north-east of the Perth CBD, tucked between Mount Lawley, Maylands, Bedford, Embleton and Bayswater. It's long been known for the Beaufort Street café strip that runs along its western edge, its leafy residential streets and a mix of character bungalows and post-war homes that give the suburb a settled, established feel.
With a population of 5,837 and a median age of 39, Inglewood attracts a mix of young professionals, downsizers and families who want inner-city convenience without giving up a backyard. It suits buyers after character housing and walkable amenity over new-build sheen, and its proximity to both the city and the Swan River keeps it firmly on the radar for owner-occupiers and investors alike.
Lifestyle & dining
Inglewood's social life largely plays out along Beaufort Street, one of Perth's better-known dining and café strips, which runs through the suburb's western fringe on its way from Mount Lawley to Bedford. Here you'll find a dense run of restaurants, wine bars, bakeries and independent shops that draw people from well beyond the immediate area, meaning residents rarely need to leave the neighbourhood for a decent coffee or a night out.
Away from the main strip, the suburb settles into quieter, tree-lined residential streets, giving Inglewood a nice balance between buzz and calm. Its position between Mount Lawley and Maylands also means residents can easily dip into the cafés and river-adjacent lifestyle of those neighbouring suburbs as well.
Getting around
Inglewood's location roughly five kilometres from the CBD makes for an easy commute by car, bus or bike, with several bus routes running along Beaufort Street and connecting through to Perth, Mount Lawley and Bayswater. Bayswater train station, on the Midland line, is within reach for residents wanting a direct rail link into the city, while Maylands station offers another nearby option.
The suburb's grid-like street layout and flat topography also make it a popular area for cycling, with bike paths and quiet residential streets linking through to the Swan River foreshore not far to the south.
Schools & families
Families in Inglewood are well served locally, with Inglewood Primary School and St Peter's Primary School both within the suburb, giving younger children a genuine walk-to-school option. The surrounding suburbs of Mount Lawley and Bayswater add further schooling choices within a short drive, which broadens the options as children move into the secondary years.
With a median age of 39 and a relatively compact population of under 6,000, Inglewood has the feel of a tight-knit community, something families weighing up schools and long-term liveability often factor into the decision to buy here.
Housing & architecture
Character is the drawcard in Inglewood, with a good stock of California bungalows and post-war brick homes lining its streets, many well kept and some tastefully renovated. Current listings show the suburb is still overwhelmingly house-oriented, with houses making up 72% of the mix, against 21% apartments and units and just 6% townhouses, so buyers after a freestanding home with a garden are generally well catered for.
The smaller apartment and unit segment tends to appeal to first-home buyers, downsizers or investors after a lower entry point, while the limited townhouse supply means these tend to be snapped up quickly when they do appear.
The property market
Inglewood's property market has been on a strong run, with house prices up 25.3% recently, pushing the median house price to $1.52 million. That growth reflects sustained demand for the suburb's character housing stock and its close-in location near Mount Lawley and Maylands.
For those priced out of the house market, units and apartments offer a considerably more accessible entry point, with a median price of $600,000. Median rent across the suburb sits at $850 a week, underlining Inglewood's appeal to renters chasing inner-city lifestyle without paying CBD prices, and making it a suburb landlords and investors continue to watch closely.
