High Wycombe is directly east of Perth and it takes no more than 20 minutes to get into the CBD. If you want to go to the Galleria, it's 15 minutes away, exactly the same time it takes to get to Carousel. Midland is less than a 10 minute drive as well. Kalamunda is only 10 minutes away for that perfect retreat away from the rural life. The only place that takes a good time to get to is the beach, which on average is a 35-40 minute drive. That being said, Roe Highway has reduced the time it takes to get to Fremantle, which now only takes 30 minutes. The large planes do NOT fly over High Wycombe, even though the international airport is no more than a 10 minute drive.

The new shopping centres (yes that's 2) have between them Coles, Supa IGA, Baker's delight, McDonalds, Subway, hairdressers, continental deli, butcher etc just to name a few. The Tavern has great food and the pizza is awesome. There are many fish and chip shops, Chinese restaurants and the world known Matteo's Pizzaria which locals love.

High Wycombe has a reputation for being one of the safest areas to live in, so much so that SGIO offer a safe neighbourhood policy on home insurance. It has a private school and 2 public primary schools, with the option to send your teen to 3 public highschools with buses that will travel directly to them.

Take a drive around High Wycombe, it's a very big suburb and get a feel for it. It's a great place to raise children, retire in the new retirement village, or if you fly in and fly out, it's so close to the airport for those annoying trips to the airport.
