Perth
Ranked in the top 10 for the Economist Intelligence Unit’s most liveable cities in 2013, Perth is also one of Australia’s healthiest cities for women. The EIU ranking is based on five criteria: stability, healthcare, education, infrastructure and culture and environment. And according to the magazine Australian Women’s Health, Perth is near the top of the list for healthy eating, mental wellbeing, life satisfaction and medical health. Between 1998 and 2009, the number of cyclists in Perth increased by 450%, and Transperth, the city transit system, has installed bike shelters at many stations, so commuters who cycle to the train can lock up their wheels. The warm climate and nearby Indian Ocean beaches mean residents have access to many outdoor and sporting activities, and in October 2013, government health agencies launched the Public Open Space Tool to enable Perth residents to locate parks and facilities near them. “There is a culture of outdoor sport and activity here,” said Gemma Alexander, associate director of research for Savills Australia and New Zealand.
The property market in Perth, which boomed in recent years due to the mining industry, is currently stabilising. West of the city’s Central Business District are some of the most desirable areas. The beach-side suburb of Cottesloe has beautiful sea views and easygoing charm, while just inland are the affluent suburbs of Peppermint Grove and Dalkeith along the Swan River, popular for their proximity to top schools and the downtown core. About 20km to the north, the beach town of Hillarys is more affordable than other coastal suburbs and very family friendly, while the historic port of Fremantle has a laidback vibe. “Fremantle has many independent stores and restaurants, plus a large range of housing options,” Alexander said. The average cost of a two-bedroom property in Peppermint Grove is $1.36 million Australian dollars, while the average rent is A$665 a week. In Cottesloe the average cost is A$815,000 and the rent is A$690 a week. In Hillarys and Freemantle, the average cost runs from A$600,000 and A$650,000, while the average rent is A$550 and A$570 a week respectively.
