We’ve launched our first Perth property! If you haven’t done so already, read about why the BrickX property team chose to buy in Perth.
Our property is located in the quaint suburb of Kensington in South Perth.
Meet Kensington
Let me paint you a picture. A peaceful street lined with white-picket fences and trimmed lawns. Strolling through, you may hear sounds of children’s laughter bubbling from backyards and the wind whispering through the leaves of lush trees bordering the street. This is Campbell Street, Kensington.
This sounds like something straight out of a movie but Kensington is very much real. It’s only 6km from the Perth CBD and surrounded by the majestic foreshore of South Perth and Victoria Park. Take a 5 minute walk and you hit one of Perth’s largest cafe, restaurant and pub precincts along the Victoria Park Strip.
So, why Kensington?
Let’s talk numbers. Kensington has had an average of 7.86% p.a. historical suburb growth over the last 20 years1. REIWA analysis found that Kensington was one of the top 7 high growth suburbs in Perth in 20182. The BrickX property team believes that properties in this area will continue their recovery over the next 2 years.
There is increasing investor interest in Kensington properties, with an average of 665 listing visits per property on realestate.com.au, compared to the 217 visits for wider Western Australian properties in 20183.
