Case Study: Porter Matthews Victoria Park Leases Spacious Family Townhouse in Highgate, WA
When a large five-bedroom, three-bathroom townhouse in the heart of Highgate became available for lease, the team at Porter Matthews Victoria Park recognised the property’s strong appeal to growing families seeking space, convenience, and access to quality local amenities.
Offering generous accommodation across multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, secure parking for two vehicles, and a prime inner-city location close to schools and public transport, the property quickly attracted attention from prospective tenants. Through strategic marketing and a thorough tenant selection process, Porter Matthews Victoria Park successfully leased the townhouse to a family looking for a comfortable long-term home within easy reach of Perth CBD.
Meeting the Demand for Large Family Homes
Large family homes in inner-city suburbs such as Highgate are increasingly difficult to find, particularly properties that combine spacious living with convenient access to schools, transport, and lifestyle amenities.
Situated on a 205m² lot within the City of Vincent council area, the townhouse provided an excellent balance of low-maintenance living and generous accommodation. With five bedrooms and three bathrooms, the property offered flexibility rarely found in many rental homes close to the city.
The successful tenants were a growing family seeking a property that could comfortably accommodate both parents and children while also providing enough space for study, work-from-home arrangements, and visiting family members.
The family had specifically targeted Highgate due to its central location, established community atmosphere, and proximity to some of Perth’s most popular schools and lifestyle destinations.
Ideal Location Close to Schools and Amenities
One of the property’s strongest features was its highly desirable location within the intake areas for both Highgate Primary School and Mount Lawley Senior High School.
Access to well-regarded schools remains one of the most important factors for families searching for long-term rental accommodation. During the leasing campaign, Porter Matthews Victoria Park highlighted the property’s school catchment advantages, helping attract strong interest from family-oriented tenants.
In addition to schooling options, the property also offered convenient access to cafés, restaurants, shopping precincts, and public transport. Highgate’s close proximity to Perth CBD made the townhouse especially appealing to working professionals who wanted reduced commute times while still enjoying the benefits of suburban family living.
The family who ultimately leased the property appreciated the ability to enjoy a connected urban lifestyle without sacrificing the space and practicality needed for day-to-day family life.
Spacious Accommodation for Modern Living
The townhouse’s five-bedroom configuration became a major point of difference in the rental market.
Modern families increasingly require additional living and sleeping spaces to accommodate changing lifestyle needs. Whether used as children’s bedrooms, guest rooms, home offices, or study areas, the extra bedrooms provided exceptional flexibility for the incoming tenants.
The three bathrooms also added significant convenience, helping reduce the pressures of busy family routines and creating a more comfortable living environment for a larger household.
Porter Matthews Victoria Park focused on presenting the property as an ideal solution for families needing room to grow while still wanting the convenience of inner-city living.
The two-car parking arrangement further enhanced the property’s practicality, especially for households with multiple vehicles or regular commuting requirements.
Technology and Connectivity Appeal
In today’s rental market, connectivity and digital infrastructure have become increasingly important to tenants, particularly families balancing work, school, and entertainment needs.
The property featured reliable NBN Fibre to the Curb connectivity along with strong 5G mobile coverage, offering fast and dependable internet access throughout the home.
For the successful tenants, this was a significant advantage. With family members requiring online access for schoolwork, remote work, streaming services, and day-to-day communication, the availability of quality internet infrastructure became an important part of the property’s appeal.
Porter Matthews Victoria Park recognised the growing importance of digital connectivity in modern leasing campaigns and ensured these features were highlighted throughout the property marketing.
