About South Guildford
South Guildford is a quiet residential suburb in Perth's eastern corridor, located 12 kilometres from the CBD in the City of Swan. With a population of around 3,800, it offers an affordable entry point to Perth's established east while maintaining proximity to the heritage precinct of neighbouring Guildford. The suburb sits between Perth Airport's flight paths and the Midland railway line, giving it a practical character that appeals to working families.
Life in South Guildford is decidedly suburban and unpretentious—modest homes on decent blocks, mature trees, and a community that values convenience over prestige. While the suburb lacks its own major shopping precinct, nearby Guildford and Midland provide comprehensive retail and dining options. The area attracts young families and tradespeople who appreciate the balance of affordability, space, and reasonable access to both the CBD and Perth Airport employment.
