Darch, one of the City of Wanneroo’s most premium suburbs superbly located just 20km north of Perth’s CBD, only 12.6 km from the white sands of the West Australian coast line at Sorrento and Whitfords Beaches & Hillarys Boat Harbour and 20km to the magnificent Swan Valley famous for it’s world class wineries. Known for it’s brilliant amenities including the Darch Plaza and Kingsway Bistro, access to reputable schools, sporting facilities & beautiful parks, Darch is a popular choice for family friendly living. Largely developed as residential through the early and mid 2000’s having previously been utilised largely as market gardens, today Darch is the proud home to many people from a diverse range of backgrounds.
We have personally split the suburb into two main pockets:
1. North Darch
Designed around key amenities, including the Darch Plaza and renowned public and private schools, this popular location has quality homes and green parklands for family living. Easy access in and out of the suburb and close proximity to the industrial area has driven demand, with it being considered a premium locale in the northern suburbs.
2. South Darch
Diverse in years of construction, this location is suitable for all ages with varying accomodation options including cottage lots through to full family size lots. Walking distance to the Kingsway Sporting Complex, Landsdale Farm School and Kingsway Shopping Centre, this convenient location is in the middle of everything.
