Just 11 kilometres south of Perth’s CBD, Bull Creek is a well-established suburb in the City of Melville that combines safety, strong community values, and a relaxed lifestyle. Loved by families and professionals alike, it offers the perfect mix of suburban calm and urban convenience, with easy access to the city and nearby coastal attractions.
Bull Creek has a unique history—it was once a stopover for camel trains en route to the WA goldfields. Its transformation began with the arrival of the freeway, which connected the suburb more directly to Perth and helped shape the thriving, leafy residential area we see today.
Education is one of Bull Creek’s biggest drawcards. The suburb is home to respected primary schools such as Bull Creek Primary and Oberthur Primary, and lies within the catchment for Rossmoyne Senior High School which is consistently ranked among the top public schools in Western Australia. This makes Bull Creek especially attractive to families seeking high-quality education in a stable, well-connected suburb.
Community life here is active but laid-back. Locals enjoy convenient shopping at Stockland Bull Creek and nearby Southlands Boulevard, plus a range of cafes, services, and recreational options. Green spaces are dotted throughout the area, providing ideal spots for walking, playing, and relaxing with family and friends.
Fun fact: Bull Creek isn’t named after the animal—it actually takes its name from the Bull family, early settlers in the region. And for something a little different, aviation enthusiasts will love the Aviation Heritage Museum, which houses a remarkable collection of historical aircraft right in the heart of the suburb.
With its family-friendly vibe, excellent amenities, and easy access to everything Perth has to offer, Bull Creek continues to be one of the city’s most desirable places to live.
