About Bakers Hill
Bakers Hill is a peaceful rural town located approximately 70–75 km east of Perth CBD, along the Great Eastern Highway in the Shire of Northam.
Known for its country charm and spacious living, Bakers Hill offers a relaxed lifestyle away from the city while still being within commuting distance to Perth. With a population of just over 1,200 residents, the suburb provides a close-knit community atmosphere ideal for families and lifestyle buyers.
Originally established in the late 1800s, Bakers Hill has maintained its rural heritage, featuring large land parcels, open landscapes, and a slower pace of life.
The area is increasingly attracting buyers seeking a “tree-change” lifestyle, offering more space, affordability, and connection to nature compared to metropolitan Perth.
The property market
Bakers Hill’s property market is characterised by large blocks, lifestyle properties, and rural homes, making it unique compared to typical Perth suburbs.
- Median house price around $530K – $840K+ depending on property size
- Median rental approximately $520 per week
- Strong long-term growth with some areas seeing 20%+ increases in recent years
Properties in Bakers Hill often sit on acreage or large land parcels, attracting buyers looking for space, privacy, and lifestyle upgrades.
The market is generally driven by owner-occupiers and lifestyle buyers, rather than high-density investors, making it ideal for long-term living rather than short-term rental yield.
Overall, Bakers Hill offers a more affordable rural alternative to Perth, with solid growth potential as demand for lifestyle properties continues to rise.
