About Mount Claremont
Welcome to Mount Claremont
Mount Claremont sits about nine kilometres west of the Perth CBD, tucked between the leafy river suburbs of Nedlands and Claremont and within easy reach of the coast at Swanbourne. It's a quiet, established pocket of Perth's western suburbs, known for its wide streets, mature trees and a sense of space that's increasingly rare this close to the city.
The suburb tends to suit families and professionals who want a settled, low-density lifestyle without giving up proximity to the city, the university precinct and some of Perth's best beaches. With a median age of 45 and a population of just under 5,000, it has the feel of a mature, close-knit community rather than a transient rental market.
Lifestyle & dining
Life in Mount Claremont is understated rather than flashy. The Mount Claremont shopping village anchors much of the day-to-day activity, with a handful of cafes and everyday retailers that double as informal meeting points for locals. For a bigger night out or a wider choice of restaurants, residents tend to head to nearby Claremont, whose café strips and Claremont Quarter precinct are only a short drive away, or south to Nedlands for its own cluster of dining options.
Shopping
Beyond the local village shops, Claremont Quarter provides the fuller retail and grocery offering, combining fashion, homewares and supermarkets in one precinct. Shenton Park and Nedlands add further specialty shops and cafes to the mix, meaning residents rarely need to travel far for either daily essentials or a proper shopping trip.
Getting around
Mount Claremont's inland position between the coast and the river makes it a genuinely well-connected suburb for car travel, with easy access to Stirling Highway and a straightforward run into the CBD. Public transport users benefit from proximity to the Swanbourne and Claremont train stations on the Fremantle line, both a short drive or bike ride away, while bus routes through the suburb link into these stations and onward to the city and university precinct.
Schools & families
Education is a real strength of the area. Mount Claremont Primary School serves as the local public option, while John XXIII College, Moerlina School and Quintilian School all sit within or close to the suburb, giving families a strong choice of independent and specialist schooling from early years through to secondary. SEDA College WA's Mount Claremont campus adds a further option for senior students, particularly those combining study with sport.
Parks & recreation
The suburb backs onto Bold Park, one of Perth's largest areas of urban bushland, offering walking and cycling trails, lookouts and a genuine bush setting minutes from home. The coast at Swanbourne is close enough for regular beach visits, while local ovals and reserves within Mount Claremont itself give families and dog owners plenty of everyday green space without needing to leave the suburb.
The property market
Mount Claremont's housing stock is overwhelmingly detached homes, with houses making up 94% of current listings against just 3% apartments/units and 3% townhouses, reflecting its low-density, family-oriented character. That scarcity of alternatives to the standalone house helps explain the price point: the median house price sits at $2.38 million, backed by recent growth of 11.1%. Median rent of $1,700 a week points to strong demand from tenants as well as buyers, in a suburb where established homes on generous blocks are the norm rather than the exception.
