About Tuart Hill
Welcome to Tuart Hill
Tuart Hill sits around seven kilometres north of the Perth CBD, tucked between Osborne Park's commercial strips and the leafy streets of Yokine, Joondanna and Mount Hawthorn. It's a suburb that has quietly gone from affordable inner-north option to one of Perth's more sought-after addresses, without losing the easy, unpretentious feel that long-time residents like.
With a population of 7,541 and a median age of 36, Tuart Hill has a mix of young families, professionals and long-term owners who bought in years ago and have watched the area transform. It suits buyers who want proximity to the city and coast without the price tag of Perth's more polished inner suburbs, and who don't mind a suburb still finding its final shape.
Lifestyle & dining
Tuart Hill doesn't have a single defined café strip of its own, but it borrows freely from its neighbours. Main Street in Osborne Park and the Yokine and Mount Hawthorn dining scenes are all a short drive or ride away, giving residents access to everything from bakeries and Italian delis to some of Perth's better-known bars and restaurants on Scarborough Beach Road and Oxford Street. Locally, the suburb's own eateries tend towards casual family-run spots, reflecting a community that's practical rather than trend-driven.
Shopping
For everyday needs, Tuart Hill residents lean on the retail and bulky-goods precinct in neighbouring Osborne Park, along with local shopping centres dotted through the surrounding suburbs. It's not a suburb built around a grand shopping strip, but that also means less traffic and congestion, with bigger weekly shops and speciality purchases just a few minutes away by car.
Getting around
One of Tuart Hill's biggest draws is its location relative to Perth's transport network. The suburb is well served by bus routes connecting to Stirling and Glendalough train stations nearby, and Wanneroo Road and Scarborough Beach Road provide direct, fast links into the CBD, generally around a fifteen-minute drive depending on traffic. Its proximity to Mitchell Freeway access points also makes it a practical base for anyone commuting further north or south.
Schools & families
Families are well catered for, with Tuart Hill Primary School and St Kieran Catholic Primary School both within the suburb, offering solid local options for younger children. Servite College, a well-regarded Catholic secondary school, is also close by, giving families a continuum of schooling options without needing to leave the area. This local schooling infrastructure is part of why the suburb continues to attract young families alongside investors and downsizers.
Housing & architecture
Tuart Hill's housing stock reflects its transitional character. Older single-storey brick-and-tile homes from the mid-to-late twentieth century sit alongside a wave of newer townhouses and apartment developments, a shift clearly visible in current listings, where townhouses make up 47%, standalone houses 29%, apartments and units 22%, and vacant land just 3%. It's a suburb where knockdown-rebuilds and infill development have become common, giving buyers a genuine choice between character homes and modern, low-maintenance builds.
The property market
Tuart Hill's property market has had a standout run, with house prices climbing 25.4% recently to a median of $1.02 million, while units and apartments offer a comparatively accessible entry point at a median of $642,000. Median rent sits at $750 a week, reflecting solid demand from tenants drawn by the location and transport links. The suburb's growth has been fuelled in part by its position between well-established, pricier suburbs like Coolbinia and Mount Hawthorn and more industrial Osborne Park, giving buyers relative value with strong upside as the area continues to gentrify.
