About Nollamara
Welcome to Nollamara
Nollamara sits around nine kilometres north of the Perth CBD, a solidly established suburb in the city's northern corridor bordered by Westminster, Yokine, Mirrabooka, Balga and Osborne Park. It's a suburb built largely in the postwar decades, and that character still shows in its wide streets and generous blocks, even as renovation and infill development steadily reshape the streetscape.
With a population of 12,779 and a median age of 34, Nollamara has a genuinely mixed, family-friendly feel. It suits first-home buyers chasing land close to the city, downsizers looking for something manageable, and investors drawn to a rental market that has stayed consistently strong.
Lifestyle & dining
Nollamara doesn't have a flashy café strip of its own, but its position between Yokine and Mirrabooka means residents are never far from one. Mirrabooka Square and the surrounding precinct offer a solid spread of everyday dining and grocery options, while Yokine and Osborne Park bring a bit more variety, from Middle Eastern bakeries to industrial-park breweries and homewares showrooms. It's the kind of suburb where locals tend to eat out in neighbouring areas and come home to quiet streets.
Shopping
For day-to-day needs, Nollamara residents lean on Mirrabooka Square and the Mirrabooka Bus Station precinct, which brings together supermarkets, a cinema, and a wide range of specialty stores under one roof. Balga and Westminster add further local shopping strips, while the bigger retail pull of Innaloo and Stirling is a short drive away for those wanting a full shopping-centre experience.
Getting around
Nollamara is well served by bus routes feeding into the Mirrabooka Bus Station, one of Perth's busier interchanges, which connects through to the CBD and surrounding suburbs. Drivers benefit from easy access to Wanneroo Road and Reid Highway, both of which make the run into central Perth or out to the coast at Scarborough straightforward. There's no train station within the suburb itself, so most residents rely on bus links or their own car, though the Stirling and Glendalough train stations on the Joondalup line are within reasonable reach for those wanting rail access.
Schools & families
Families are well catered for locally, with Nollamara Primary School serving as the suburb's public option and Our Lady of Lourdes School providing a Catholic alternative. The West Coast Steiner School, including its Mayfair Street campus, gives parents an established Steiner-education pathway without having to leave the area. Between these options and the broader network of schools in neighbouring Yokine and Balga, most families find something that suits within a short drive.
Housing & architecture
The suburb's housing stock reflects its postwar development, dominated by brick-and-tile homes on generous blocks, many now being renovated, extended or replaced with townhouses. Current listings show houses still make up the majority of stock at 58%, with townhouses now accounting for a notable 33% share, apartments and units at 9%, and a small remaining 1% of vacant land. That mix points to a suburb in transition, where older single-dwelling blocks are gradually giving way to higher-density infill, particularly along main roads.
The property market
Nollamara has recorded strong recent momentum, with median house prices climbing 23.0% to reach $830,000, while units and townhouses sit at a median of $766,000. Median weekly rent of $730 reflects solid demand from tenants drawn to the suburb's affordability relative to inner-city Perth and its easy access to Mirrabooka's amenities and the Reid Highway/Wanneroo Road network. With growth of this scale, Nollamara has moved well beyond its reputation as a purely budget-friendly option, though it still offers more land and space for the money than suburbs closer to the coast or the CBD.
