Eglinton is a coastal suburb located in the northern corridor of Perth, Western Australia, approximately 44 kilometres north of the Perth Central Business District. It is part of the rapidly growing City of Wanneroo and lies between the Indian Ocean to the west and the Mitchell Freeway and Yanchep Rail Extension to the east, making it accessible for both commuters and residents seeking a coastal lifestyle. Eglinton’s location along Marmion Avenue places it near other developing suburbs like Alkimos and Yanchep, highlighting its role in Perth’s northern metropolitan expansion.

The suburb is characterised by a blend of new and future residential developments, with land releases and modern estates catering to families, young professionals, and retirees. Eglinton’s residential areas primarily consist of detached single-family homes, though plans for mixed-density housing and apartment complexes are emerging as the population grows. The area is known for its attractive, family-friendly communities, featuring landscaped parks, playgrounds, and proximity to the beach, which contribute to its appeal for homebuyers and investors alike.

Commercial development in Eglinton is still in its early stages, with a focus on local convenience retailers, childcare centres, cafes, and medical facilities integrated within residential precincts. As the population continues to increase, further amenities such as shopping centres, supermarkets, and expanded commercial services are planned to meet community demand. Eglinton’s growth is also supported by new infrastructure projects, including the METRONET Yanchep Rail Extension, which is expected to improve public transport connectivity and stimulate both residential and commercial investment in the years ahead.
