Mount Claremont

Mount Claremont is a quiet, established pocket of Perth’s western suburbs, about nine kilometres from the CBD and set between Claremont, Swanbourne, Floreat, City Beach and Shenton Park. It is a residential suburb rather than a retail hub, but the cafes and shops of Claremont, the beaches at Swanbourne and City Beach, and the wider western suburbs are all a short trip away, with rail and bus links close by. Buyers are drawn by the space, the settled feel and the schooling in and around the area, including John XXIII College. The housing is a real mix. Old Mount Claremont, with its 1940s and 50s homes on generous blocks, sits alongside newer estates such as St Johns Wood and St Peters Square, where townhouses suit buyers who want a lock-up-and-leave. That means Mount Claremont serves everyone from families after a substantial block to downsizers wanting something low-maintenance. The two ends of that market behave very differently, and value hinges on which one you are buying into.

The character homes in Old Mount Claremont are tightly held and often trade quietly, while the newer townhouse estates are more active but reward a careful eye on the build, the block and the strata. Across both, demand is strong because so many buyers want this location. That makes local knowledge and early access matter. Our specialist covers Mount Claremont and the surrounding western suburbs week to week, hears about the good homes before they are advertised, and knows which streets and estates genuinely hold their value. When the right property appears, we assess it on real comparable evidence and run the negotiation, so you buy a considered purchase in a competitive suburb rather than a rushed one.
