Gone are the days when raising a family meant automatically settling for the suburbs. Perth City is offering families a vibrant and convenient lifestyle that challenges traditional perceptions.
More Than You Think: From Parks to Playgrounds
Data shows nearly 80,000 families in Australian cities call high-rise apartments home. Perth is following suit, with a growing number of families choosing the inner-city experience.
Space and Amenities Reconsidered
For many families, the initial concern when starting a family is space and amenities. Yet, Perth City offers a surprising array of options.
- Clean Air and Green Spaces: Perth boasts the second-best air quality globally, right behind Zurich. Combined with over 140 hectares of parkland, including Kings Park and 15 other major parks, you’re never far from a breath of fresh air and green space.
- Award-Winning Playgrounds: Moort-ak Waadiny Wellington Square is a prime example, featuring nature play, a pump track, and basketball courts – perfect for kids of all ages.
Inner-City Community
Major cities like New York and Singapore demonstrate how apartment living can foster strong communities. Families grow together in a place with diverse offerings for every age group.
Crawley as a Case Study
Take Crawley, a suburb within the City of Perth. 21% of its households have children, with a mix of apartments, villas, and duplexes. This highlights the city’s growing inclusivity.
Culture on Your Doorstep
From world-class museums and galleries to captivating performances at Perth Concert Hall and State Theatre, Perth City exposes children to a rich cultural tapestry. Easy access to entertainment zones, RAC Arena, and Scitech further broadens their horizons.
Finances in Focus
Apartment prices haven’t risen as dramatically as house prices. This makes them more affordable for families, freeing up resources for travel, education, and investments. Plus, less worry about property maintenance creates a cushion for unexpected expenses.
Inner-City Living: A Rewarding Choice
While a big backyard might not be for everyone, Perth City offers a compelling alternative. It provides all the benefits of a vibrant community, green spaces, and entertainment – just like any great suburb, only on a grander scale. Consider Perth City – it might be the perfect fit for your growing family!
