Suburb Spotlight: Alkimos

Alkimos is quickly becoming one of Perth’s most desirable coastal suburbs for families, first home buyers and investors looking to secure property in the city’s northern growth corridor.

Located just north of Butler and approximately 40 kilometres from the Perth CBD, Alkimos combines beachside living, expanding infrastructure and strong long-term growth potential, making it a popular choice for buyers building new homes.

For many B1 Homes clients, Alkimos offers something rare: the chance to build a modern home near the coast while still remaining connected to the city.

Location & Connectivity

One of Alkimos’ biggest advantages is its improving connectivity to Perth and surrounding suburbs.

METRONET Yanchep Rail Line

The opening of the Alkimos METRONET station in 2024 significantly improved accessibility for residents.

The station now provides:

• Direct rail access to Perth CBD

• Approximate 40 minute commute into the city

• Easy connections to surrounding suburbs and employment hubs

For many homebuyers, this infrastructure upgrade has made coastal living far more practical for commuting professionals.

Road Access

Alkimos also benefits from excellent road connectivity:

• Mitchell Freeway extension running directly through the area

• Easy access to Marmion Avenue

• Approximately 40–45 minute drive to Perth CBD

This combination of rail and road transport continues to support Alkimos’ rapid population growth.

Coastal Lifestyle

For many buyers, Alkimos delivers the lifestyle many Perth families are searching for, modern homes within minutes of the beach.

Residents enjoy easy access to:

• Alkimos Beach

• Shorehaven coastline

• Yanchep Lagoon

• Multiple coastal parks and walking trails

The suburb has been carefully designed as a masterplanned coastal community, with wide streets, family parks, playgrounds and open spaces creating a strong neighbourhood feel.

For buyers building their first home, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy coastal living without the price tags often associated with established beachside suburbs.

Schools & Education

Alkimos has seen significant investment in education infrastructure to support the area’s growing population.

Schools in and around Alkimos include:

• Alkimos Primary School

• Alkimos College

• Northshore Christian Grammar School

• St James’ Anglican School

The availability of both public and private schooling options has made Alkimos particularly attractive to young families looking to settle in the area long term.

Healthcare & Future Infrastructure

Healthcare services are already available within the surrounding northern suburbs, including local GP clinics and allied health providers.

Looking ahead, one of the biggest infrastructure projects planned for the region is the future Yanchep Health Campus, which will bring major hospital services closer to residents in Alkimos and surrounding suburbs.

Large-scale infrastructure projects like these often support long-term liveability and property value growth.

Shopping & Everyday Convenience

Retail and lifestyle amenities continue to expand across the Alkimos region.

Key shopping precincts servicing residents include:

• Trinity Village Shopping Centre

• Gateway Shopping Precinct (Clarkson)

• Butler Central Shopping Centre

These centres provide supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and essential retail services, ensuring residents have convenient access to everyday amenities.
