Carramar real estate is known for leafy streets, a village centre and the golf-course precinct. At Property North, we provide suburb-specific strategies for sales, buying and property management in Perth’s Booming Northern Corridor.
Carramar sits north of Tapping, east of Wanneroo and west of Banksia Grove, with Joondalup a short drive for tertiary education, healthcare and major retail. Its established streetscapes, ovals and family amenities make it a popular choice for upgraders seeking space and green outlooks.
Carramar came into being in 1995 as a subdivision of Neerabup, with the suburb name approved in 1997. The name “Carramar” is recorded as an Aboriginal word meaning shade of trees, which reflects the local environment and the green design intent that followed. The suburb is bounded by Flynn Drive, Pinjar Road, Joondalup Drive and Wanneroo Road.
Carramar’s grid carries a strong native flora and fauna thread, with street names referencing banksias, eucalypts and local wildlife. Around community parks and the golf estate, the pattern reinforces a sense of place and connects the neighbourhoods to the broader bushland identity that defines the area.
Life in Carramar revolves around parks, ovals and community facilities. Families make use of local play spaces and sporting reserves, while daily needs are met at Carramar Village Shopping Centre on Joondalup Drive. The centre opened in 2009 and is anchored by a national supermarket with a mix of specialty retailers, services and medical.
Our Carramar property management focuses on careful tenant selection, preventative maintenance and lease renewals aligned to seasonal demand. With steady interest from families and professionals working in Joondalup, quality presentation and responsive management help secure longer tenancies and protect yields.
Presentation and pricing must reflect micro-market differences between golf-estate streets, park-adjacent pockets and busier connectors near Joondalup Drive.

Carramar Primary School supports young families, with secondary options in the wider area and K–12 options at St Stephen’s (Carramar campus) on the border with Tapping. Sports clubs, ovals and shared-use facilities keep weekends active, while Lake Joondalup trails and Yellagonga Regional Park are a short drive for cycling and walks. The mix of green outlooks, family amenities and proximity to Joondalup delivers broad appeal for long-term residents.
Carramar enjoys straightforward access across the corridor. Joondalup Drive provides a direct link to the Mitchell Freeway and the train station for fast access to the Perth CBD, while Pinjar Road and Wanneroo Road connect east–west and north–south. The suburb’s position means quick trips to Joondalup for hospitals, TAFE, ECU and large-format retail.
Carramar’s 18-hole public course opened in 1994 and remains a popular local venue, with a driving range and practice facilities. The City has confirmed ongoing investment and upgrades across its public courses to modernise facilities and enhance community use, supporting Carramar’s long-standing recreation identity and adding to the suburb’s lifestyle value.
As surrounding centres expand retail and services, Carramar’s village centre, sports infrastructure and established streetscapes continue to support demand. The combination of green outlooks, family-sized blocks and improving amenities positions Carramar for resilient sales and rental performance in the coming years.
