Unlocking High Wycombe: Perth’s Investment Hotspot You Can’t Ignore
Discover why savvy investors are turning their attention to this flourishing suburb.
If you’re searching for a suburb that delivers strong rental returns, long-term growth, and real lifestyle appeal, High Wycombe should be high on your list.
And here’s the thing, we know High Wycombe better than most. At Centurion Real Estate, we’re based right here in the suburb. We’ve walked its streets, talked to its people, and helped countless clients buy, sell, and lease homes in this pocket of Perth. So, when we say High Wycombe is an investment opportunity worth looking into, we say it with confidence, backed by years of experience on the ground.
Here’s why this suburb is such a standout for investors wanting to build wealth and support the rental market.
- Renters Are Actively Looking — and Staying Longer
As local leasing agents, we’ve seen firsthand the strong and consistent demand for rentals in High Wycombe from families, young professionals, FIFO workers. They’re all drawn to the area for both its lifestyle and location.
The new train station has added another point of attraction, especially for commuters working in the city or flying out regularly. Shops, schools, and playgrounds are all within easy reach, making it a suburb where people genuinely want to live, not just temporarily, but long term.
For landlords, that means a steady stream of quality tenants and fewer gaps between tenancies.
- Strong Rental Yields and Capital Growth
High Wycombe offers that rare sweet spot, affordable entry into the market with solid returns:
- Median house price $705,000
- Rental growth of 13.3% in the past 12 months and average yield of 4.76%.
- Units are also performing well, priced around $585,000 with yields near 5.55%.
- Over the last year, house prices have risen around 19%, while units have surged by more than 31%
Additionally, the state government’s allocation of $16.37 million through the Infrastructure Development Fund aims to support the construction of 1,560 dwellings across various suburbs, including High Wycombe. Such initiatives are set to boost the suburb’s appeal, attract new residents, and stimulate economic growth, thereby increasing demand for rental properties.
This means you can expect not just steady rental income but real growth in your property’s value over time. The combination of healthy yields and rising prices makes High Wycombe a very attractive place to invest.
- A Practical Suburb That Appeals to Everyday Living
From chatting with tenants at home opens to doing letterbox drops in the area, we know the vibe here and it’s something you can’t quite put into a stat.
High Wycombe has that real-life charm that makes people stay. Facilities such as cafes, restaurants, grocery shops, GP clinics, daycares, and footy ovals, just to name a few. Everything’s nearby, but the pace feels relaxed and neighbourly.
It’s the kind of place where people remember your name at the coffee shop, and where kids ride their bikes to the local park. That lifestyle makes tenants feel settled, which leads to better care for your property and longer tenancies.
- Infrastructure That Makes Life Easier — and Adds Value
When we talk to prospective renters or buyers, connectivity is always near the top of their list, and High Wycombe delivers:
- A quick train ride to Perth city (20–25 mins)
- Minutes to Perth Airport
- Easy road access via Roe and Tonkin Highways
These are everyday perks that make life simpler for tenants, and that’s exactly what makes your investment more appealing. Along with this, being part of the METRONET expansion puts High Wycombe on the map for future growth. This kind of infrastructure doesn’t just add convenience, it lifts property values and attracts long-term renters.
