North Perth’s story began in 1898 with its earliest subdivisions, when Solomon Herman’s Gold Estates of Australia purchased Lot 653 from the Farmer estate. This acquisition led to the creation of the Percy Estate, positioned south of modern-day Angove Street, named after surveyor William Angove. Originally known as Woodville and Toorak, the area adopted the name North Perth in 1901. Its affordability and close proximity to the CBD quickly made it a desirable place to live, setting the foundations for a neighbourhood that would later draw steady interest from buyers, sellers and anyone seeking guidance from a trusted North Perth real estate agent.
By 1903, rapid subdivision had extended the street grid to Walcott Street and Wanneroo Road, shaping much of the character housing built between 1895 and 1935. The tram service along Fitzgerald Street, operating from 1900 to 1953, further boosted accessibility and helped establish the strong community identity that remains evident today.
As of 2026, the median sales price in North Perth is $1.63M, with properties spending a median of 8 days on market, based on data from REIWA and the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
