There are few suburbs in Perth as fancy as Dalkeith. You only need to stroll among the leafy streets lined with mega-mansions to gauge where much of Perth’s wealthiest have chosen to live.
In fact, one of Perth’s most expensive houses sold for $27.5 million in August 2020. Once owned by high-profile businessman Alan Bond and designed by renowned architect Geoffrey Summerhayes, the 6406sqm estate was once deemed a debaucherous playground during the flamboyant ‘80s.
Falling under the affluent City of Nedlands, nowadays Dalkeith has a more refined air about it, catering to well-to-do families, professionals and retirees attracted to this stately enclave spanning several enviable kilometres along the breathtaking Swan River.
Lifestyle.
Situated just six kilometres from the heart of Perth’s CBD, the fortunate 4,000+ residents of Dalkeith are perfectly placed for Perth’s most elite schools, including Christ Church Grammar School, Methodist Ladies’ College, Scotch College, Shenton College, and St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls. Living in Dalkeith means being at the centre of this educational hub, with luxury vehicles lining Stirling Highway and many surrounding streets during the school rush in an obscene display of how the other half lives. Obviously, not many Dalkeith residents need to rely on public transport, but bus routes are dotted throughout the neighbourhood, ferrying university students to the nearby University of Western Australia, dutifully keeping the family tradition going. The Claremont Train Station is a couple of kilometres away and conveniently located opposite the Claremont Quarter teeming with high-end boutiques and restaurants.
