About Maida Vale
Maida Vale is a quiet, semi-rural suburb nestled in the foothills of the Darling Range, approximately 20 kilometres east of Perth's CBD within the Shire of Kalamunda. The suburb spans just over 8 square kilometres, giving it a spacious, open character compared to inner-metropolitan areas. With a population of 4,499 and a median age of 42, Maida Vale attracts established families and owner-occupiers, with over 73 per cent of residents born in Australia, reflecting a predominantly Anglo-European community character.
Maida Vale's proximity to the Darling Range foothills makes it popular with residents who enjoy a quieter lifestyle within reach of Perth's eastern suburbs. The suburb borders High Wycombe and Forrestfield, and residents have access to schools, parks, and local shopping in neighbouring Kalamunda, known for its village character and weekend markets. With a median household income of around $1,977 per week and very low social housing rates, Maida Vale is a predominantly owner-occupied area favoured by families seeking space, greenery, and a relaxed lifestyle within commuting distance of the city.
Maida Vale falls under postcode 6057 and is governed by Kalamunda Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Forrestfield electorate.
