Case Study: Porter Matthews Victoria Park Leases Spacious South Perth Apartment to Young Family
When a well-presented three-bedroom apartment in South Perth became available for lease, the team at Porter Matthews Victoria Park recognised the property’s strong appeal to tenants seeking affordable inner-city living with space, convenience, and family-friendly functionality.
Located on the ground floor and offering a fully enclosed courtyard, spacious living areas, and excellent access to transport and amenities, the apartment quickly attracted attention from renters looking for practical and comfortable accommodation close to Perth CBD. Through strategic marketing and careful tenant selection, Porter Matthews Victoria Park successfully leased the property to a young family seeking a well-connected home in one of Perth’s most desirable riverside suburbs.
Affordable Family Living in South Perth
South Perth remains one of Perth’s most highly sought-after suburbs due to its proximity to the city, public transport options, riverside lifestyle, and access to local amenities.
While many homes in the area cater to luxury buyers and high-end renters, this apartment offered a fantastic opportunity for families wanting to enjoy the benefits of South Perth living in a more affordable and low-maintenance setting.
The successful tenants, a young family with small children, were specifically searching for a property that offered:
- Extra bedroom space
- Safe outdoor areas
- Easy transport access
- Proximity to schools and amenities
- Low-maintenance living close to the city
The apartment’s ground floor position became a major advantage, providing easy accessibility and a more practical setup for family living compared to upper-level apartments.
Spacious Layout Designed for Everyday Comfort
One of the property’s strongest features was its functional and family-friendly floorplan.
The apartment featured three spacious bedrooms, offering flexibility for growing families needing additional room for children, guests, or study areas.
The master bedroom included built-in robes, providing valuable storage and helping maximise usable living space throughout the home.
Porter Matthews Victoria Park focused heavily on presenting the apartment as a practical and comfortable solution for families wanting space without the maintenance demands of a larger standalone home.
The spacious proportions of the bedrooms became a major selling point during inspections, particularly for families comparing the property with smaller two-bedroom alternatives in the area.
Modern Updates Improve Tenant Appeal
The property had undergone tasteful refurbishments that significantly improved both its functionality and visual appeal.
The refurbished kitchen offered a clean and modern layout with practical storage and bench space suited to busy family living. The upgraded finishes helped create a bright and welcoming atmosphere while improving the overall presentation of the apartment.
The refurbished bathroom also added further appeal, giving tenants the benefit of updated fixtures and improved comfort without sacrificing practicality.
Throughout the leasing campaign, Porter Matthews Victoria Park highlighted these renovations to show prospective tenants that the apartment offered modern convenience while remaining highly affordable within the South Perth market.
Open-Plan Living with Low-Maintenance Features
The apartment’s open-plan living area provided excellent flexibility for family life.
Slate tiling throughout the main living areas offered both durability and easy maintenance, making it especially practical for families with young children. The tiled surfaces also helped keep the apartment cool and comfortable throughout Perth’s warmer months.
Carpeted bedrooms added warmth and comfort to the sleeping areas, helping create a balanced and family-friendly living environment.
The open-plan design allowed the living, dining, and kitchen spaces to flow together naturally, creating a welcoming atmosphere for both everyday living and entertaining.
The family who ultimately leased the property appreciated how the layout provided enough shared space for family activities while still allowing each family member their own private retreat.
Enclosed Courtyard Adds Valuable Outdoor Space
One of the apartment’s standout features was its fully enclosed private courtyard.
Outdoor space remains highly desirable for renters, particularly families with children who value safe and secure areas for outdoor play and relaxation.
The courtyard provided the ideal setting for:
- Outdoor dining
- Children’s play space
- Relaxing outdoors
- Entertaining guests
- Additional storage flexibility
For the successful tenants, having access to a secure outdoor area significantly enhanced the apartment’s overall appeal and livability.
Porter Matthews Victoria Park recognised the importance of this feature and ensured the courtyard was prominently showcased throughout the marketing campaign.
Excellent Transport and Lifestyle Convenience
The apartment’s location offered exceptional convenience for tenants working or studying in Perth CBD.
With public transport located directly outside the property, commuting into the city became quick and easy for the tenants. This convenience helped reduce travel times and improved the family’s overall work-life balance.
In addition to transport accessibility, the apartment was located close to a wide range of amenities, including:
- Shopping centres
- Local cafés and restaurants
- Parks and recreational areas
- Schools and childcare facilities
- Medical services
The family appreciated the ability to enjoy a connected urban lifestyle while still having access to comfortable and practical living spaces.
Strategic Leasing Campaign Generates Strong Interest
Recognising the property’s appeal to families and professional tenants, Porter Matthews Victoria Park implemented a targeted leasing strategy focused on affordability, convenience, and lifestyle.
Professional marketing materials highlighted:
- The spacious three-bedroom layout

The campaign generated strong enquiry levels shortly after launch, particularly from families and tenants seeking larger apartments close to Perth CBD.

Delivering Another Successful Leasing Outcome
The property was ultimately leased to a young family who immediately connected with the apartment’s practical design, convenient location, and comfortable living environment.
For the property owner, securing quality tenants quickly helped minimise vacancy while ensuring the property would remain well maintained and cared for.
