Craigie (WA), Western Australia.
Craigie is a quiet, well-established residential suburb in Perth's northern corridor, known for its leafy streets, local parks and easy access to coastal and urban amenities.
Craigie sits in the City of Joondalup, tucked between busier arterial roads yet retaining a calm, neighbourhood feel. Streets are lined with established trees, and the suburb has a settled, family-friendly character that has changed little over the decades.
Most people who live here value the peace and proximity, with the coast, major shopping precincts and public transport links all within a short drive or ride. It is the kind of suburb where people tend to stay once they arrive.
Craigie sits on the Country of the Noongar people, who have been the Traditional Custodians of this land for many thousands of years. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and acknowledge their continuing connection to Country.

Eating and the local scene
Craigie itself is primarily residential, so dining and retail options within the suburb are modest and centred around everyday convenience. Nearby centres in the broader Joondalup area provide a much wider range of cafes, restaurants and shops, and most locals are accustomed to a short drive for a sit-down meal or a bigger grocery run.
A bit of history
Like much of Perth's northern suburbs, Craigie was developed largely from the mid-twentieth century onwards as the city expanded to accommodate a growing population. The land was gradually rezoned and subdivided from rural and semi-rural uses, and the suburb took on its present residential character over subsequent decades. Today its mature gardens and established street trees are a quiet reminder of how long many of its homes have been standing.
