SIGNATURE SPOTLIGHT
Established Family Living
Waikiki is a settled, owner-occupier-heavy suburb in the City of Rockingham, around 41km south of the Perth CBD. With an average household size of 2.6 and a median age of 39 — both noticeably higher than the inner-city suburbs in this guide — it reads as a family suburb rather than a rental-turnover one, reflected in the lowest renter share of any suburb in this pilot at 22.9%.
Around Waikiki
Rockingham coastline
