The fourth most affordable suburb in Perth is Parmelia. Everywhere is in close proximity by walking: the train station, schools, shops, choice of medical centres, dental and physiotherapists.

Parmelia is a hidden sanctuary within the metropolitan area.

Parmelia is a popular area for young families and retirees. Parmelia is located roughly 43 kilometres south of Perth when taking the Kwinana highway. Just like the other cities making up the City of Kwinana, Parmelia also takes its name from one of the ships that first brought settlers to the newly-established Swan River Colony. In fact, the Parmelia was the first ship to arrive in this area, carrying among its passengers the new Governor of the area, James Stirling, and his wife, Ella.

Parmelia is close to schools and parks, and featuring a shopping centre.

Parmelia is a self-sufficient suburb situated close to the thriving Kwinana hub. Residents enjoy proximity to the Kwinana Recquatic Centre, Koorliny Arts Centre and a major railway station with efficient links to Perth City.
