Demand 5/10: a small, semi-rural Swan Valley suburb (2,500 residents; median age 41, the oldest of its corridor; highest outright-ownership at 32.9%; most Anglo at 87.4% English-only) mixing established acreage and wineries with newer Mirvac-led estates, bordered by a genuine West Swan Rd cellar-door wine-tourism layer.
