South Perth (6151)
About South Perth: South Perth sits across the Swan River from the CBD, about 3km by road or a 10-minute ferry from Mends Street to Elizabeth Quay. It runs from foreshore apartments back to tree-lined streets of character homes, with Perth Zoo, the Old Mill and Sir James Mitchell Park on the doorstep. Our tenants here are CBD professionals, downsizers and students heading to Curtin.
We've been managing South Perth homes for over two decades, and it shows. One of our tenants has called the same South Perth home theirs since 2006. That's 20 years of rent paid, home cared for, and an investor who hasn't had to think twice. Nearly half of the 178 rentals we look after here have been with SOCO for more than 10 years. When investors say that long, it's because the quiet, consistent stuff is getting done.
