Average rent in Malaga, WA — 2026

Malaga is one of the more expensive parts of Western Australia to rent in — the typical renter pays $775/week, around 130% above the state median of $337/week (ABS Census 2021). Most households here own (around 0% are owners or paying a mortgage), and the suburb is mostly separate houses (125%) rather than units. That mix usually means a smaller, slower-turnover rental pool than in inner-city areas at a similar price. The suburb sits 11km from Perth, with a population of around 25 and a median age of 43. The biggest occupation category is Technicians and Trades Workers. Renters often wait longer here, and inspections fill quickly when stock does come up.
