Suburb profile
Naval Base is a welcoming smaller community in Kwinana Council, with a settled community character. An older demographic makes it especially popular with retirees, with multiple generations sharing the same neighbourhood. With fewer amenities on hand, neighbouring suburbs do much of the shopping and service heavy lifting.
Open space is thinner than in many comparable suburbs, so residents often travel a little further for a longer park day. Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here, with buses covering longer trips across the wider area. Homes are neither a bargain nor a premium buy against the wider market.
Reported crime has been falling recently. This is a mature, settled pocket where the existing streetscape still defines the local character.
