18B Mandalay Place, Craigie WA 6025

Recently built boutique villa | No strata fees | Family-friendly Craigie pocket | Rare low-maintenance edge This property’s strongest buying case is its combination of a 2022 build standard with the absence of strata fees, a structural rarity in Perth’s villa market. The 139m² floorplan and 174m² land area offer a genuinely low-maintenance footprint that suits downsizers or first-home buyers looking to avoid ongoing levies. Being one of only three homes in the complex, privacy and site control are unusually high for this product type. The Belridge Secondary College and Craigie Heights Primary catchments add practical family appeal without premium pricing. The main risk is the middle-villa configuration, which may limit natural light on two sides and reduce resale appeal compared to an end or corner lot. The 2022 build means the property is still within its minor-defects window, so a building and pest inspection is advisable before settlement. For the right buyer, the opportunity lies in securing near-new construction with no recurring strata costs, which directly improves holding affordability and long-term equity position in a stable Joondalup market.
