Mount Lawley

FairSquare analyses every Australian suburb for property investors — score, yield, risk and a full investment verdict.

FairSquare's model rates Mount Lawley, Western Australia 7.1 out of 10 (Steady Buy) as of May 2026.

Mount Lawley presents a strong investment opportunity as an established inner-city suburb located just 5 kilometres from Perth's Central Business District, driven by consistently high tenant demand. Critically low supply and an exceptionally tight 0.6% vacancy rate are driving robust rental performance, with properties achieving an average of $1002 weekly, and substantial capital appreciation reflected in 11.5% price growth over the last twelve months. The market has started re-rating this location — 12-month growth of +11.5% puts it ahead of the broader Western Australia median. Constrained supply means downward price pressure is structurally limited.
