When looking for a new home in Perth in 2026, and where to build in particular it’s no longer about just finding the cheapest block of land. Families and individuals looking to build in Perth are looking for suburbs with the best amenities, best access to main roads and close proximity to Metronet train and bus stations.
As one of the most trusted home builders in Perth, New Choice Homes understands that you are looking for home and land packages to build a life around, whether you want to be in the latest coastal precinct or walking distance to the shops or train station. That’s why we have put together a guide on the best suburbs to build in Perth for 2026.
Northern Suburbs
The northern corridor remains one of the most popular locations for families and first-home buyers. The extension of the rail line to Yanchep has fundamentally changed the value proposition here—what used to feel like a “long drive” is now a highly connected coastal hub.
Alkimos
Alkimos is a favourite among first-home buyers looking for affordable house packages offering value and connectivity. Discover our Horizon Display Home in Eden Beach and discover a modern home design that maximises natural light.
Jindalee
Jindalee has matured into a sought-after suburb with established cafes and beachside parks. It’s perfect for buyers who want the ocean at their doorstep in a modern estate.
Sinagra
Located just minutes from the incredibly popular and expanding Joondalup CBD, Sinagra is the perfect pick for families who want to be close to an urban environment but still live in a peaceful estate. Visit our Willow Display Home in the Illyarrie estate to discover the perfect family home for this suburb.
Eglinton
One of the fastest expanding suburbs in the Northern corridor, thanks to the Government unlocking more land for homes, Eglinton is fast becoming a popular major metropolitan centre with new rail links and soon-to-open retail infrastructure.
Two Rocks
Two Rocks is perfect for families that want a slower pace and more room to move, offering a marina lifestyle with larger lot sizes that are now a rarity closer to the city.
Southern Suburbs
Many of the southern Perth suburbs have grown in popularity due to an increase in transport links and the offer of larger land sizes and established community infrastructure.
Treeby
Treeby is quickly becoming one of the most in-demand pockets in the southern suburbs, located minutes from the new Cockburn Central transport hub and Kwinana Freeway. Visit our Dahlia Display Home in the Lake Treeby estate and discover smart house design with a priority on space and flow.
Baldivis
Baldivis offers a great variety for those wanting to build a new home with semi-rural pockets close to a bustling town centre, with established shopping and dining options.
Madora Bay
Located along the coastline and only 10 minutes from Mandurah, Madora Bay is a great option for families that want a beach lifestyle with incredible beaches, easy school access and amazing green spaces. Our Solara Display Home in Madora Bay is the benchmark for coastal living. It’s designed to handle the active WA lifestyle, with plenty of room for storage and socialising
Byford
Byford has become a popular suburb for growth in Perth, with various land sizes located just 35 minutes from the CBD and minutes from the Byford town centre and future train station.
