About Leederville
Welcome to Leederville
Leederville sits barely two kilometres north-west of the Perth CBD, close enough to the city skyline to walk or cycle in on a fine morning, yet with a character all its own built around laneway cafes, cinemas and a famously lively main strip. It's one of Perth's original inner-city villages, and it has kept much of that early character while filling in around the edges with apartments and townhouses.
With a population of just 3,686 and a median age of 35, Leederville tends to attract young professionals, couples and downsizers drawn to its walkable streets and proximity to work in the city. It borders North Perth, West Leederville, West Perth, Subiaco and Northbridge, putting it right in the thick of Perth's inner-city arc, and it suits buyers and renters who want urban convenience without sacrificing neighbourhood feel.
Lifestyle & dining
Oxford Street is the heart of Leederville and one of Perth's best-known eat-and-drink strips, lined with cafes, bars, restaurants and the Luna Leederville cinema, an art-house institution that's been drawing crowds for decades. The mix of old shopfronts and newer fit-outs gives the strip an easygoing, slightly bohemian feel that's carried through much of the suburb, and on weekends the footpaths spill over with brunch crowds and after-work drinks alike.
Beyond Oxford Street, the suburb's compact grid of residential streets means most things are only a short stroll away, and neighbouring Northbridge and Subiaco add further options for nightlife, theatre and dining when locals want to wander a little further afield.
Getting around
Leederville train station, on the Fremantle line, puts the CBD within a few minutes' ride, making it one of the more train-friendly inner suburbs for commuters who'd rather not drive. Regular bus routes supplement the rail line along Oxford Street and through to West Perth and Subiaco, and the suburb's flat, grid-based layout makes it easy going for cyclists and walkers.
For drivers, the Mitchell Freeway is close by via West Perth, and the CBD itself is a short trip down Loftus Street or through West Perth's office precinct, which keeps commute times short for those working in the city.
Schools & families
Leederville is not primarily known as a family-heavy suburb, but it's well served by education options nonetheless. West Leederville Primary School and Aranmore Catholic College's primary and secondary campuses provide solid local schooling, while the School of Isolated and Distance Education has a base here too. SEDA College WA runs two campuses in Leederville focused on sport and vocational pathways, adding a distinctive option for older students.
Families who do settle here tend to value the short commute to the city and the walkability of daily life over larger blocks, with many opting for townhouses or established houses on the suburb's quieter residential streets away from Oxford Street.
Housing & architecture
The current mix of listings in Leederville runs to 41% apartments or units, 39% houses and 18% townhouses, with land making up a small remainder, reflecting a suburb that has densified considerably while still holding on to pockets of its original character housing. Federation and interwar bungalows sit alongside boutique apartment developments and newer townhouse infill, particularly on streets closer to West Leederville and North Perth.
That variety means buyers have real choice between a classic timber-and-brick cottage with period detailing and a low-maintenance apartment close to the train station, which is part of what keeps the suburb appealing across different life stages.
The property market
Leederville's median house price currently sits at $1.60 million, having climbed 36.0% recently, a strong run that reflects sustained demand for inner-city land close to the CBD. Units and apartments offer a considerably more accessible entry point, with a median of $810,000, while the median rent across the suburb is $855 per week.
That gap between house and unit prices, combined with the suburb's dwelling mix, means Leederville caters to quite different budgets under the one postcode: those chasing a character house on a full block are competing hard in a tightly held market, while apartment and townhouse buyers have more options and a lower barrier to entry into one of Perth's most walkable inner suburbs.
