Overview

Scarborough sits 14 km northwest of Perth’s CBD on the Indian Ocean, offering a vibrant coastal lifestyle centred on Scarborough Beach. The entertainment precinct buzzes with restaurants, bars and a nightclub, while the ocean‑side beach pool, opened in 2019, adds family‑friendly recreation. A landmark high‑rise – the Rendezvous Hotel (originally Observation City, 1986) – sits alongside the City of Stirling’s eight‑storey height limit, creating a blend of low‑rise dwellings and limited high‑rise development. The suburb recorded about 14,300 residents in the 2011 census, with roughly a quarter born overseas, predominantly from the United Kingdom, and regularly hosts the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships.

Excellent public transport links connect the area via Scarborough Beach Bus Station, with routes 410, 412, 420, 421, 422 and high‑frequency 990 to Perth. Families benefit from local schools including Scarborough Primary and St John’s Catholic Primary, while nearby Deanmore Primary, St Mary’s Girls School and the International School broaden educational options. Heritage and community amenities such as the Rotary Clock Tower and Stewart Park round out the suburb’s appealing mix of leisure, transport and housing.
