30/228 West Coast Highway, Scarborough WA 6019
Renovated 2×1 beachside unit | $875/wk achievable rent | enclosed alfresco | Scarborough foreshore walkable | arterial road exposure
This unit is lifted above older Scarborough stock by its updated bathroom, split-system cooling and enclosed alfresco space. The practical two-bed, one-bath, one-car layout is suited to singles, couples or short-term letting. Easy walking distance to the beach, cafés and foreshore is provided by its West Coast Highway placement, explaining the achievable $875 per week. The income potential is most attractive to investors, while downsizers seeking a lock-and-leave coastal base would also find it workable. Condition is the differentiator; dated stock in the complex is priced lower, so this unit is moved into a stronger class by the renovation.
West Coast Highway traffic noise may be experienced, tempering owner-occupier appeal. Extension potential may be limited by the small footprint, though some compensation is offered by the alfresco space. Yield is set by purchase price; at $875 weekly, a higher entry would compress returns. Holding costs might be affected by strata fees or future maintenance.

Market Insight
Scarborough’s coastal positioning and proximity to Perth’s centre drive demand from renters and investors, with house rents up 9.8% and unit rents up 7.7% over the past year. The median house price is $1,257,500, having grown 12.0% annually; units sit at $762,000, up 8.9%. Houses sell in a median 16 days, with 250 sales in the year to December 2025. Gross yields are 3.69% for houses and up to 4.95% for units. Ongoing development and lifestyle appeal support future growth. The key constraint is affordability: entry prices above $1.25 million for houses and substantial unit values may limit broader buyer participation.
