About Scarborough
Scarborough is Perth's most iconic beach suburb, a coastal community of 17,600 residents 14 kilometres north of the CBD. The recently renewed foreshore features stunning public space, while the suburb blends high-rise development with traditional beach houses. Buses provide transport, with Stirling station providing rail access to the broader network.
Life here is all about the beach—swimming, surfing, sunset drinks, and an increasingly sophisticated dining scene along the esplanade. The foreshore renewal has transformed Scarborough into a genuine coastal destination. The suburb attracts young professionals seeking beach lifestyle, investors in the growing high-rise market, and those drawn to Perth's best urban beach precinct.
