About Yokine
Welcome to Yokine
Yokine sits roughly six kilometres north of the Perth CBD, a leafy middle-ring suburb wedged between Coolbinia and Menora to the south, Tuart Hill and Dianella to the north and east, and Nollamara close by. It's long been one of Perth's quietly popular family suburbs, known for its wide tree-lined streets, established gardens and easy access to both the city and the coast.
With a population of around 12,706 and a median age of 38, Yokine attracts a mix of long-term owners, young families upgrading from the inner city, and buyers drawn to its parks, schools and proximity to Dianella Plaza and Mount Lawley's cafe strips. It suits people who want established character housing and a settled, community feel without giving up a short commute.
Lifestyle & dining
Yokine's day-to-day life revolves around its parks, local shops and the easy reach of nearby dining precincts. Residents often head into Mount Lawley or Coolbinia for coffee and restaurants, while Dianella Plaza just over the border covers most everyday needs. The suburb itself has a low-key, residential character rather than a bustling main street, which is part of its appeal for families wanting a quieter base close to the action.
Green space is a genuine drawcard here. Yokine Regional Open Space and the Yokine Reserve area give locals room to walk, cycle and let the kids run around, and the suburb's elevated pockets offer some pleasant outlooks back towards the city skyline.
Getting around
Yokine's location six kilometres from the CBD makes for a straightforward commute, with Alexander Drive and Wanneroo Road providing key routes into the city and out towards the northern suburbs. Reid Highway is close at hand for those heading further afield, and regular bus services connect Yokine to Perth's rail network, with Stirling and Glendalough train stations both a short drive away for commuters wanting to leave the car behind.
The suburb's grid of wide residential streets also makes it easy to get around locally by bike or on foot, and its central-northern position means beaches, the airport and the CBD are all within a reasonably short drive.
Schools & families
Yokine Primary School anchors the suburb's family appeal, giving local children a genuine walk-to-school option and a long-standing community hub. Families also have a good spread of options nearby across Coolbinia, Menora, Tuart Hill and Dianella, making Yokine a practical base for parents juggling school runs across several nearby suburbs.
With a median age of 38, Yokine skews toward established families and professionals rather than a strong student or young-share renter market, and the suburb's parks and quiet streets reflect that family-first character.
Housing & architecture
Yokine's housing stock is a mix of eras, from mid-century brick-and-tile homes on generous blocks to newer townhouses and unit developments that have emerged as the suburb has gradually densified. Current listings show houses still dominate at 52%, with townhouses making up 25% and apartments or units 16%, plus a small 6% share of vacant land, giving buyers a genuine spread of options depending on budget and lifestyle stage.
The result is a suburb where downsizers and first-home buyers can find something in the unit or townhouse market, while those chasing a classic quarter-acre-style block still have reasonable choice, particularly closer to Yokine Regional Open Space and the Coolbinia and Menora borders.
The property market
Yokine has had a strong run recently, with house prices up 26.8% to a current median of $1.18 million, reflecting solid demand for its established homes and inner-north location. Units and townhouses offer a considerably more accessible entry point, with a median of $620,000, which helps explain the healthy proportion of townhouse and apartment stock now on the market.
For renters, the median asking rent sits at $775 a week, in keeping with Yokine's position as a sought-after, well-located suburb rather than a budget option. Buyers weighing up Yokine against neighbours like Dianella, Nollamara or Tuart Hill will generally find it commands a premium, a reflection of its leafier streets, parks and closer proximity to the city.
