Como Rent Prices in City of South Perth 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
With a median of A$36/m², the pricing reflects its status as a top-tier transit hub rather than a quiet retreat. We’ve rated it BOUGIE because you’re paying a premium for the 6152 postcode and the proximity to the riverfront, even if your actual floor plan is modest. From an investment outlook, the low vacancy rates justify the cost, but for renters, it’s a competitive scramble where a parking bay is worth its weight in gold.
The Vibe:Como is a landscape of post-war brick homes rapidly being eclipsed by high-density glass towers near the Canning Bridge Station. The daily reality involves navigating the heavy congestion of Canning Highway and the Kwinana Freeway on-ramps. It attracts a demographic that prioritizes a sub-10-minute commute to the CBD over suburban silence, centered around the mature trees of McDougall Park.

Locals Ask
Does the A$52/m² price point get me a river view?
Generally, yes; those top-end stats are driven by the new luxury developments near the water and the bridge.
How bad is the street parking on Preston Street?
It's a disaster on Friday nights; if your rental doesn't include a dedicated bay, expect a long walk.
Is the rent cheaper closer to Curtin University?
Slightly, but the 'student' discount is disappearing as professional demand for the area rises.
What is the investment outlook for older 1970s flats?
Strong, provided they are renovated; the location ensures they stay occupied regardless of building age.
Is the noise from Canning Highway a dealbreaker?
For properties directly on the strip, expect a 10% rent reduction compared to the quieter leafy avenues.
