What Lesley is known for: Green suburb

Suburb profile

Lesley is a hillside smaller community in Armadale Council, with elevated streets and a greener, quieter pace. The community skews younger. Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town.

Local amenities are on the light side, so many everyday needs are met by travelling to a neighbouring suburb or town. Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls. A car helps for most daily errands, with fewer amenities clustered within an easy walk.

Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs. Reported crime has been falling recently.
