About Success
Welcome to Success
Success sits in Perth's southern suburbs, part of the City of Cockburn and roughly 25 kilometres from the CBD. It's a residential area that grew up around the Jandakot Airport precinct and the wetlands that punctuate its street layout, giving it a leafier, more settled feel than some of its newer neighbours.
With a median age of 34 and a population of 11,340, Success has become a magnet for young families and professionals looking for established homes with room to grow, without straying too far from the Kwinana Freeway corridor. It sits alongside Atwell, Aubin Grove, Treeby, Cockburn Central and Jandakot, and shares much of the shopping, schooling and transport infrastructure that has made this pocket of Cockburn so popular over the past decade.
Lifestyle & dining
Success is a quieter, family-oriented suburb rather than a dining destination in its own right, and most residents are happy to keep it that way. Local cafes and takeaway options service day-to-day needs, while the more substantial dining and entertainment strips of Cockburn Central and Cockburn Gateway are only a short drive away, giving residents easy access to a wider spread of restaurants, bars and cinemas when they want a change of scenery.
Shopping
For everyday shopping, Success residents lean on nearby retail hubs rather than a large centre within the suburb itself. Cockburn Gateway Shopping City and the Cockburn Central precinct offer major supermarkets, speciality stores and homewares, while smaller local shopping strips in Success and neighbouring Atwell cover the basics. The proximity to Jandakot's bulky goods and trade precinct is also handy for renovators and tradespeople.
Getting around
Success benefits from its position near the Kwinana Freeway, making the commute into central Perth relatively straightforward by car. Cockburn Central train station, on the Mandurah line, is close by and gives residents a fast rail option into the city without needing to drive all the way in. Jandakot Airport, on the suburb's doorstep, adds a bit of local colour and is a reminder of the area's aviation history, while bus routes through Success connect residents to Cockburn Central and surrounding suburbs for those without a car.
Schools & families
Families are well catered for, with Success Primary School and Jandakot Primary School both serving the local area, and Emmanuel Catholic College offering a Catholic education option nearby. The suburb's wetlands and parks, combined with its supply of established family-sized homes, have made it a consistent choice for households with school-age children, and the median age of 34 reflects that family-heavy demographic.
Parks & recreation
One of Success's defining features is its network of wetlands and bushland reserves, which weave through the suburb and offer walking paths, picnic spots and pockets of natural bushland. These green corridors give the suburb a more open, established feel than some of the flatter, newer estates further south, and they're a drawcard for residents who want easy access to nature without leaving the neighbourhood.
The property market
Success's property market reflects its established, house-dominated character, with houses making up 76% of current listings against 20% apartments or units, 3% land and 1% townhouses. The median house price sits at $1.00 million, having grown 13.2% recently, a sign of strong ongoing demand for the suburb's family homes. Units and apartments offer a considerably more accessible entry point, with a median price of $560,000, while renters can expect to pay a median of $790 a week, underlining Success's position as a sought-after, if increasingly expensive, pocket of Cockburn.
