Singleton

Lifestyle & dining

Life in Singleton revolves largely around the coast. The suburb's beaches are the main drawcard, offering swimming, fishing and long walks, while the surrounding bushland reserves provide a green buffer for those who prefer a quieter, more natural outlook. It's a lifestyle suited to people who want space and a slower pace without giving up proximity to Perth.

Dining options within Singleton itself are still relatively low-key, reflecting its status as a growing residential area, but residents have easy access to the cafes, restaurants and takeaway options in neighbouring Golden Bay and Madora Bay, both a short drive away.

Shopping

For day-to-day shopping, Singleton residents typically head to the retail centres in nearby Lakelands and Golden Bay, which offer supermarkets, specialty stores and everyday services. The broader Mandurah retail and commercial precinct is also within reach for bigger shopping trips, giving locals a good balance of convenience close to home and larger-scale options nearby.

Getting around

Singleton's location just off the Kwinana Freeway makes commuting to Perth or Mandurah straightforward by car, with the CBD around an hour's drive away depending on traffic. The suburb is well placed within the Peel region's road network, sitting between Karnup and the Golden Bay/Madora Bay coastal strip.

Public transport options continue to expand as the area grows, with bus services connecting Singleton to surrounding suburbs and train stations further north, though many residents still rely on private vehicles given the suburb's semi-outer location.

Schools & families

Families are well catered for locally, with Singleton Primary School serving the suburb directly. For secondary education and additional schooling options, families typically look to facilities in the surrounding Mandurah and Lakelands areas, which offer a wider range of public and private choices as the region's population continues to build.

The property market

Singleton's property market has been strong in recent times, with the median house price sitting at $950,000 after growth of 18.8% over the past year. Median weekly rent is $673, reflecting solid demand from both owner-occupiers and tenants attracted to the suburb's coastal setting.

Current listings are dominated by established houses, which make up 90% of stock, with land sites accounting for the remaining 10%, pointing to a suburb that is now largely built out but still has some room for new construction. The mix suits buyers looking for a completed home as well as those wanting to build to their own design.
