As Perth continues to expand, more West Australians are discovering the appeal of coastal living and Eglinton Village is emerging as a top choice for those seeking a little more from life.
A Fast-Growing Region
Perth’s northwest corridor is among the fastest-growing regions in the state. Over the past 20 years, the City of Wanneroo’s population has soared from 80,000 to 215,000. By 2041, that number is expected to rise to 370,000, thanks to ongoing investment in infrastructure and community facilities.
Why the Northern Coastline Appeals
People are moving north for many reasons. One key factor is affordability with land and home prices offering greater value compared to Perth’s inner suburbs, without compromising on quality or amenities.
But it’s more than just value. Residents are drawn to the relaxed coastal lifestyle, with easy access to stunning beaches, walking trails, and open green spaces. The sense of community and space to grow make it particularly attractive to families, first home buyers, and even retirees seeking a sea change.
Improved Access and Growing Amenities
Recent infrastructure projects have enhanced connectivity across the region. The Metronet rail extension from Butler to Yanchep now includes the new Eglinton Train Station, just 500 metres from Eglinton Village. This makes commuting easier than ever.
The Mitchell Freeway extension to Romeo Road improves road access, while new schools, parks, and recreational spaces ensure that residents enjoy a balanced and convenient lifestyle close to home. A new Woolworths shopping centre is set to open in Eglinton Village in 2026, adding further convenience to the area.
Who Is Moving to Eglinton Village? Everyone!
Eglinton Village is drawing in a wide range of buyers, from those taking their first step onto the property ladder to those looking to enjoy a slower pace of life by the coast. What they all have in common is the desire for a more fulfilling lifestyle, better value, and a connected community.
First Home Buyers are finding Eglinton Village particularly appealing thanks to its affordability and government incentives such as new stamp duty exemptions and the First Home Owner Grant, making the dream of owning a brand-new home more attainable than ever. Plus, the proximity to the new Eglinton train station means they can live further out without sacrificing connectivity.
Young families are making the move for more space and a strong sense of belonging. A village is defined by a sense of community and neighbourhood. It not only creates lifestyles filled with connection but plays an important role in the Eglinton Village story itself. Families also benefit from the upcoming local primary school within the estate, nearby parks, and essential services like the future Woolworths shopping centre.
Upgraders who have outgrown their current home or suburb are choosing Eglinton Village to build the home they’ve always wanted. Whether it’s a larger house, a pool in the backyard, or a better layout for entertaining, Eglinton Village offers the flexibility to turn those goals into reality. The coastal setting adds that extra layer of lifestyle appeal. Imagine walking the beach at sunset or hosting weekend barbecues just minutes from the ocean.
Downsizers are embracing the Eglinton Village community for its low-maintenance, “lock and leave” lifestyle. With energy-efficient initiatives such as Eglinton Village Energy (Eve), future amenities on their doorstep, and a peaceful coastal environment, it's a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the next chapter without the stress of high upkeep or city noise.
Why Choose Eglinton Village?
Eglinton Village is more than just a land release, it’s a thoughtfully designed, masterplanned community. Future plans include a local primary school, vibrant parks, and a dedicated conservation area to protect the coastal environment.
The community also benefits from Eglinton Village Energy (EVE), a unique initiative offering rooftop solar and up to 20% savings* on energy use, all with no upfront installation costs. It’s a forward-thinking approach to sustainable living, ideal for cost-conscious buyers.
