Canning Vale

I have been renting in Canning Vale for approximately two years. When I first arrived, I couldn't sleep properly for about a month because of the overhead passing planes, the freight train nearby going at all hours of the morning and parties by nearby neighbours. Some parts of Canning Vale are pretty but very few far and between, becoming more of a concrete jungle as many 1-2 bdrm houses are slapped closely together. I have been really disappointed at the lack of playgrounds for children, let alone the quality of them. I dread shopping at Livingston Mall, it doesn't feel safe. There are plenty of different cultures in Canning Vale which is the only good thing. I would never invest in buying a home here, it's too overpriced for what this suburb offers. It takes me over an hour to travel into the city (work) by public transport which has been a huge hassle. It has been very difficult to get into a medical facility as they are all full.

I have lived here for 12 years & Canning Vale is such a great suburb to live. We have great neighbours who we socialize with & a great golf club where you can have a great meal on a Friday night. Our park is always well looked after & my dog loves walking around the lakes & the park. We have a few great shopping centres & of course now open on Sundays.

too many loud planes coming from jandakot airport.... no peace and quiet ever from those planes... friendly area but way overpriced

A good place for families

Suitable for all. Homes & blocks in newer estates are smaller with less garden if that suits & generally less expensive. Homes in the older estates although more expensive are bigger & on bigger blocks with garden for children or relaxation. The parks are unique with Christmas parties & sundowners held during the year. Golf Club is on the doorstep & boasting one of WA's best courses. Social Club is inexpensive & has great benefits. Canning Vale is definitely not any ordinary suburb.

We love it in Canning Vale. Of course some people are always going to find faults but that happens in every suburb.

Lived in Brookland Green for 3 years and couldn't wait to sell up and move out. Too many yobs with high powered cars, houses too close together, too many colorbond fences & patios to bounce the sound around, too many air-conditioners going 24/7. Too much traffic. Unless you work south of Canning Vale (don't have to cross the railway) you are destined to be stuck in traffic every workday, do not do it.

A great place to live where its green all year round! Apart from the newer small estates which might suit some the blocks are of a great size. Houses are modern & smart, gardens green & cool Take a drive to suburbs around the beaches and compare. Thirty minutes to the beaches. What is the fascination with the beaches anyway which are crowded & parking is a nightmare? There's nothing better than driving back into Canning Vale suburbs such as Brookland Greens where it's green and neat. There are several excellent schools & a college, sporting & gym facilities, good choice of shopping, countless eateries, all the medical facilkities & hospitals close by instead of on your doorstep overshadowing the suburb. We love it here & have been residents for twelve years after leaving a suburb close by which became very drab, tired & sad. There are so many other benefits with a golf course on our doorstep and the international airport only 15-20 minutes away & the domestic about 25 minutes.

Canning Vale is a long way from Perth CBD, very small blocks and high population,they really pack em in! I feel that it will become a getto style suburb in the future. Not a great deal of character in this lego land style of buildings, quite treeless. I think the area had more character when the land was a swamp.

Situated 17km south east of Perth CBD is one of Perth’s fastest growing sought after suburbs amongst middle to top income earning families. Boasting a population of 23,289, Canning Vale has progressed from merely an industrial / semi-rural area to “the” residential place to be. The suburb is littered with prestigious estates such as Livingston, Waratah, Brookland Greens, The Reserve, The Avenues, Sanctuary Waters, Ranford, Caladenia and Oxford Private Estate, to name but some. With new infrastructure, well designed parklands and children’s playgrounds, plus thoughtful retained natural habitats, this suburb has much to offer. Quality shopping centres such as Livingston, The Vale and Ranford provide supermarkets, pharmacies and speciality shops and medical centres including an after-hours medical centre at The Vale shopping centre. Restaurants such as Thai, Italian, Vietnamese, Indian and Japanese provide a multi-cultural taste sensation, as well as a local pub, cafes, liquor and takeaway outlets. The Market City provides professional services as well as a popular weekend market. Industry and service based businesses still exist around the Bannister Road location. A new local library and community centre exist at Amherst Village on Warton Road. There are state and private primary and secondary schools providing state-of-the-art technology, as well as child care centres and outside hours school care. Sporting clubs flourish as well as fitness centres, in addition to a private golf course in the heart of the suburb. Bus routes provide services to the city, train station and Murdoch Bus Station. Centrally located near the Roe Highway for the northern and southern suburbs, and Nicholson Road access to Albany Highway for city or south-west destination, Canning Vale truly is a hidden gateway. Rental prices are above average and house prices range from lower than median up to a million plus.

I like it here. It's got everything i need that's close.
The amenities here is excellent. From schools to doctors and highways. My son's music school is just 3 minutes drive away. There is a new library too. I love this place.

Good suburb, safe and sound but we pay a premium council rate and water rate as well. It's defintely one of the best suburbs to live in, no or less graffiti, less hoon and less burglary cases.
Houses are affordable for dual income family. We only have ADSL1...that's bad.

The people in our street are really friendly and there are lots of kids who ride around the parks and play games of soccer together - it's a nice place.
