Scarborough to Subiaco commute?

Hi all, just wondering whether the commute to Subiaco from the Scarborough/Innaloo/Doubletree/Woodlands area could be done avoiding the highway and major traffic? Just one area we are considering for rentals.

Thanks in advance!

Hey @cutchibear. We've been to the Scarborough beach market the last couple of Saturday's and it took us just under 15 mins to get there from our short term place in Glendalough. Subiaco is less than 10 mins from us. You'd probably drive down the coast and past Wembley golf course to get to Subi from Scarborough. Not sure what the traffic would be like on a weekday morning though. I'm sure it won't be too bad.

Yeah found it on realestate.com.au. Viewing is a bit different here as they have set inspections times to see the property and there are usually a few other people looking as well which was a bit weird. Mount hawthorn isn't the cheapest of areas but we loved the villagey type feel of the place. I'm going to cycle to work too so won't spend anything on commuting apart from having to buy a bike!

Hi @cutchibear, we live in Scarborough and hubby works in CBD, as well as sites all over Perth and he is in work within 25 mins into the city and does not have any problem with traffic. We love the fact that we seem quite central to most things it's only 25 mins to Freo, 25 mins up to Burns Beach etc. My only word of warning, if you have children and are planning on buying here eventually, it is expensive to buy, we had to compromise on our house, it's a 3 x 2, but has no large patio area, no pool, no theatre room, not even a walk in pantry, but we are 2 mins walk from the beach, there is a beautiful park at the end of the road, so the kids and us are very happy, where for the money we spent we could have had a 5 bedroom, with pool, with theatre room and still have over $300K left to spare, if we had moved further up North or way down south, but the kids were settled in their high school and we love the area, so for us the compromise works just fine.
