1/52 Hastings Street, Scarborough WA 6019

Three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse of 125 square metres inside on a 247 square metre block, with two garages, offering low-maintenance coastal living near Scarborough Beach. This freestanding-style townhouse sits within a small strata setup, delivering the privacy and feel of a standalone home while benefiting from low-maintenance shared grounds. It suits downsizers seeking beachside ease, young families needing room to grow, or investors targeting steady returns. Demand remains strong for such well-configured properties, with similar homes moving quickly off-market due to limited supply in this vibrant beach enclave, reflecting a positive sales trend fueled by lifestyle appeal. Its layout features generous bedrooms, dual living zones, and secure garaging, making it ideal for buyers prioritizing functionality with minimal upkeep. Located in a prime spot, it offers walkable access to Scarborough Beach, cafes, and oceanfront paths, leveraging the suburb’s relaxed yet upscale vibe. Benefits include proximity to the Indian Ocean for daily swims, a vibrant dining scene, and easy connectivity to Perth CBD via nearby roads. Peak-season parking near the beach can tighten, and the area’s popularity can bring minor traffic during events. Local schooling options are close by: Scarborough Primary School 0.6 kilometres away for kindergarten through year six, Churchlands Senior High School 3.4 kilometres for secondary education, and St John’s Catholic School 0.8 kilometres for primary-level choice in a co-ed setting. The area attracts professionals, empty-nesters, and families drawn to coastal living, creating a community atmosphere with above-average incomes supporting property values. There are no major new projects directly impacting this site, but ongoing beachfront enhancements and Scarborough’s revitalization keep the area dynamic without losing its charm. Rental yield potential remains solid, appealing to investors for premium weekly rents from long-term tenants such as FIFO workers or retirees. Growth drivers include sustained coastal demand, infrastructure upgrades linking to the city, and a broader population influx to Perth, positioning the property for capital appreciation in a market favoring quality homes. Opportunities exist for value-adding cosmetic updates to capitalize on solid bones, or holding for rental income amid tightening vacancy rates. Risks are low but include strata maintenance fees in a small complex and sensitivity to interest rate shifts affecting buyer pools, though the beachfront appeal helps mitigate much of that exposure.
