A closer look at Shirley

Just north-east of the CBD, Shirley is an established, family-oriented pocket known for its big trees, flat streets and the busy Shirley shopping centre. It's a genuine first-home draw with real city proximity, a settled residential character and the Avon River red-zone green space close by. The flat streets and mature gardens give it an established feel, while the shops and schools keep it practical for families and first-home buyers alike.
