South Perth

South Perth is a residential suburb 3 kilometres (2 mi) south of the central business district of Perth, the capital of Western Australia, which adjoins the southern shore of Perth Water on the Swan River.

South Perth is an expensive area for land due to its location near the river and central business district. Consequently, there are a comparatively high number of highrise apartment towers in the suburb, generally near the foreshore. There are also a number of large mansions. Significant numbers of townhouses and some older houses fill out the suburb.
