Shenton Park.

Featuring some of Perth’s most affluent properties, Shenton Park spans over just a couple of kilometres of leafy streets. Its petite nature peppered with mid-century, heritage and architecturally designed homes maintains this suburb’s exclusivity.

Many families move here to be in the catchment of Shenton Park College, one of the best public co-educational schools in Perth, and what they save on school fees they can put towards the average $1.7 million property price tag.

Situated in the municipalities of the City of Subiaco and the City of Nedlands and four kilometres from Perth’s CBD, this suburb is well serviced by arterial roads, bus stops and the Shenton Park Train Station. Named after Shenton Park, Lake Jualbup flows at its heart and includes playgrounds and plenty of space to frolic. Shenton Bushland sits on the western border of the suburb next to Mount Claremont, known for its sporting facilities at the UWA (University of WA) Sports Park, Perry Lakes and HBF Stadium.

Bordering Subiaco, also brimming with local cafes, shops and gourmet outlets, many of Shenton Park’s attractions are within walking distance of most homes. This proximity certainly enhances the appeal of stepping out with pampered pooches and designer sneakers.
