Welcome to Yanchep

A coastal community with momentum

There is something compelling about a location that brings together an enviable coastal lifestyle and the practical foundations of a growing community. Yanchep, on Perth's northern coastline, is one of those places. Beautiful beaches and natural open spaces sit alongside new rail connections, upgraded road infrastructure and expanding local services.

For homeowners, the appeal is easy to understand: access to the coast, everyday convenience and a connected place to call home. For investors, the conversation extends to housing demand, rental performance, infrastructure and the opportunities presented by new-build homes.

At Core Group International, we believe the best property conversations begin with clear information. This profile brings together recent market figures and the developments shaping Yanchep and Perth's wider northern growth corridor, so you can explore what makes this location worth a closer look.

Why investors are looking north

The big picture: coastal appeal, improved connections, growing regional amenities and a property market that has recorded strong recent price and rental growth.

Market statistics are historical observations, not forecasts of future performance.

Property Market

The numbers behind the opportunity

Yanchep's reported market performance gives investors a useful starting point. REIWA recorded 17.2% annual house price growth, alongside 8.1% annual rental growth. The median house price was $850,000, median house rent $670 per week and median selling time 21 days. Together, these figures describe a market that has seen substantial recent movement in both sales and rents.

The four-bedroom market

• $890,000 Median four-bedroom sale price
• $700 / wk Median four-bedroom rent

House and land: illustrative rental yield

The original investor snapshot identifies four-bedroom turnkey house and land packages from $762,000. Using the reported Yanchep median four-bedroom rent of $700 per week, this gives an illustrative gross rental yield of 4.78%. This example highlights the potential income-to-price relationship for a new house and land purchase. It is based on suburb-wide median rent, not a property-specific rental appraisal, and is not a guaranteed rental outcome.

Illustrative gross rental yield: 4.78% ($700 per week x 52 weeks divided by $762,000). Based on the advertised four-bedroom turnkey package starting price and suburb median four-bedroom rent. Excludes expenses and vacancies.

Growth Fundamentals

Connections, community and services

Infrastructure shaping the northern corridor:

• 14.5 km | METRONET rail extension: Opened in July 2024, the extension connects Butler to Yanchep via new stations at Alkimos and Eglinton. Yanchep Station offers an approximately 49-minute rail journey to Perth and around 1,000 parking bays. This is a meaningful improvement in metropolitan connectivity for residents.
• $249 million | Mitchell Freeway extension: The completed 5.6km extension from Hester Avenue to Romeo Road supports travel across Perth's expanding north-western suburbs, including Yanchep, Alkimos and Eglinton. Improved road access adds another layer of convenience for local households.
• 370,273 | City of Wanneroo population forecast: City planning material projects the broader City of Wanneroo population could reach approximately 370,273 by 2041. This is a regional forecast, not a Yanchep-only population estimate, and helps illustrate the scale of anticipated growth in the wider municipality.
• 20 to 30 years | Alkimos Central: DevelopmentWA describes Alkimos Central as a long-term master-planned centre. The Alkimos Aquatic and Recreation Centre was scheduled for late 2026, with further commercial and residential stages expected from 2027. Timelines are subject to change.
• $8 million | Local health investment: The Western Australian Government contributed $8 million towards the ECU Health Centre in Yanchep. The Yanchep Medicare Urgent Care Clinic also opened in February 2026, operating seven days a week and adding to local healthcare access.

Why these developments matter

Transport, healthcare, recreation and retail are part of what makes a growing community practical and appealing to live in. For investors, they are useful location fundamentals to understand.

Lifestyle and Opportunity

A place to live. A market to explore.

Yanchep offers more than a set of property statistics. The coastline, Yanchep Lagoon, nearby beaches, walking trails and Yanchep National Park all contribute to a relaxed, outdoors-oriented lifestyle. For many buyers, that balance of natural beauty and everyday convenience is a powerful part of the location's appeal.

For investors, lifestyle is part of the wider picture. A home's design, accessibility, proximity to services and appeal to prospective residents all deserve consideration alongside suburb-level data. New house and land opportunities offer another way to explore this growing coastal community.

Coastal Market Comparison

Four locations. More possibilities.

Compare Yanchep with neighbouring coastal markets, plus Lancelin farther north. These figures describe established house markets, not specific new-build packages.

How to read the comparison

Yanchep combines rail access and coastal lifestyle. Alkimos has the highest reported median weekly rent in this four-location snapshot. Two Rocks has a lower median house price than Yanchep and Alkimos. Lancelin is a separate, more distant coastal market.

Location Strategy

Match the market to the buyer

Four different location stories allow Core Group International to build a shortlist around each buyer's budget, property goals and preferred lifestyle.

All location descriptions and comparative figures are based on the supplied October 2026 Coastal Perth Investment Snapshot. Historical growth does not predict future performance.

Lancelin South

A coastal vision taking shape

Explore a different pathway: emerging masterplanned coastal land, alongside established-home and new-build opportunities elsewhere in the corridor.

Coastal lifestyle

Lancelin is known for beaches, fishing, surfing, windsurfing and sand dunes. This is a distinctive lifestyle proposition for buyers considering a longer-term coastal position.

Masterplanned community

The Lancelin South vision includes future parklands, recreation spaces, schools, shopping and community amenities. These are planned features, not facilities represented as already delivered.

Different investment pathways

Subject to release and availability, buyers may explore vacant land or house-and-land options. Assess land size, orientation, holding costs, expected settlement, builder options and the timeline for planned services.
