• Strategic southern setting: Located approximately 50 kilometres south of Perth CBD and around 15 kilometres from Rockingham, Karnup offers a balance of affordability, space and access to established coastal amenities.

• Lifestyle and natural surroundings: A relaxed semi-rural environment close to the beaches of Secret Harbour and Golden Bay, with open landscapes, parks and recreational opportunities contributing to its appeal.

• Major future development: A 484-hectare masterplanned community is planned to deliver more than 4,000 new homes, alongside schools, retail centres, parklands and road upgrades over the next 20 years.

• Future transport potential: Planning is underway for a proposed Karnup Train Station, which could provide a significant boost to public transport access and support further development around the precinct.

For investors: Karnup’s median house price is approximately $800,000, with annual sales growth of 16.8% to June 2026. Median rent is around $610 per week, with homes leasing in a median 14 days. While rental growth has eased 6.2% year-on-year, the combination of a relatively accessible entry price, fast leasing times and substantial planned infrastructure and residential investment provides an appealing long-term proposition for investors.
