About Medina
Welcome to Medina
Medina sits in Perth's southern suburbs, part of the Kwinana precinct roughly 40 kilometres from the Perth CBD. It's a compact, unassuming pocket of the south-west corridor, bordered by Calista, Centre, Parmelia, Orelia and Leda, and it has long been a solid, working-suburb alternative to the pricier coastal pockets nearby.
With a population of around 2,260 and a median age of 42, Medina attracts a mix of established households, first-home buyers and investors drawn to its affordability. It's not a suburb chasing glossy reinvention — it suits people who want a straightforward, well-located home base rather than a lifestyle statement.
Housing & architecture
Medina's housing stock is dominated by houses, which make up 81% of current listings, with apartments and units accounting for 13% and vacant land making up the remaining 6%. Much of the suburb was developed with post-war and mid-century brick-and-tile homes on generous blocks, giving it a settled, low-rise character rather than dense infill.
That mix of established homes and occasional land opportunities means buyers have a reasonable spread of options, from renovator-style cottages to more recent builds, without the suburb tipping into unit-heavy development seen elsewhere in the corridor.
The property market
Medina's median house price currently sits at $680,000, following a strong run of growth of 21.4% recently — a notable jump that reflects the broader affordability push into Perth's outer southern suburbs. For renters, the median asking rent is $550 a week, putting Medina within reach for tenants priced out of nearer-coastal or inner suburbs.
This combination of solid capital growth and comparatively accessible entry prices has kept Medina on the radar for investors and owner-occupiers alike, particularly those comparing it against similarly positioned neighbours like Parmelia, Orelia and Leda.
Getting around
Medina's location within the Kwinana area means residents rely primarily on the road network, with the Kwinana Freeway and Mandurah Road providing key links north to Perth and south towards Mandurah. Local bus routes connect Medina to surrounding suburbs and to the Kwinana Train Station precinct, giving residents access to the Transperth network without needing a station directly in the suburb.
For day-to-day trips, the layout is easy to navigate, and the suburb's proximity to Calista and Centre means many amenities are only a short drive away.
Schools & families
Families in Medina are served locally by Medina Primary School, a long-standing part of the community, while older students have access to SMYL Community College on Seabrooke Way, which offers an alternative education pathway within the suburb itself. Additional primary and secondary options are available in the surrounding Kwinana suburbs, including Orelia and Parmelia.
The median age of 42 suggests a community with a good number of established families and older residents, rather than a suburb skewed heavily towards young singles or students.
Lifestyle & dining
Medina itself is a quiet, residential suburb, and much of its day-to-day retail and dining life is shared with neighbouring Calista and Centre, where local shopping strips and takeaway options fill in the gaps. For bigger shopping trips, residents typically head to the larger Kwinana town centre nearby.
It's a low-key lifestyle suited to those who prioritise affordability and space over walk-to-everything convenience, with beaches and coastal reserves further west offering a weekend escape from the suburban routine.
