East Perth (6004)
About East Perth: East Perth sits on the eastern edge of the CBD along the Swan River, with Claisebrook Cove, the Matagarup Bridge across to Optus Stadium and free CAT buses into the city. Apartments and townhouses dominate, renting to professionals, students and anyone who wants to walk to work.
East Perth is our apartment and city-living patch, and it behaves like one. Tenancies turn over faster here (median under a year), which is normal for inner-city units popular with professionals and students on the move. That's exactly why the letting process matters so much in this suburb, and why investors here need a team that can re-lease quickly and keep standards high between tenants.
