Churchlands

Churchlands is a residential suburb in the northern part of Perth, Western Australia. It lies within the Perth metropolitan area and is situated a short distance northwest of the central business district. The suburb is characterized by leafy streets, comparatively large residential lots, and a mix of established homes and newer builds. It is bordered by Herdsman Lake to the southwest and is adjacent to suburbs that include Wembley and Floreat.

The area began to develop in the mid-20th century as Perth expanded northward following World War II. Growth continued through the 1960s and beyond, resulting in a predominantly family-oriented neighborhood with established gardens and a quiet residential character.

Churchlands is home to Churchlands Senior High School, a major public secondary school, along with Churchlands Primary School and other local primary education options in nearby suburbs. The suburb includes several parks and is close to natural features such as Herdsman Lake Regional Park.

Public transport is provided by Transperth bus services connecting to nearby commercial centers and rail lines. The area is largely residential and is broadly regarded as an affluent community, with high property values and a high rate of owner-occupied homes.
