Get a Free AppraisalIf you are searching for a property manager in Scarborough who understands a beachside market rather than treating it like any other suburb, A Wiser Choice Property Management is a family-owned, locally operated agency where the Principal/Licensee personally manages your property — one accountable contact from the first inspection through to every routine report.
Scarborough sits on the Indian Ocean roughly 14 km north-west of the Perth CBD, in the City of Stirling. Its foreshore has been comprehensively rebuilt in recent years, adding the Scarborough Beach Pool, an amphitheatre and a much stronger esplanade dining strip to the beach itself. Away from the sand the suburb is quieter than its reputation suggests: Abbett Park carries much of the local sporting life, Scarborough Primary School and St John's School serve local families, and Karrinyup shopping centre sits a short drive east. There is no station in the suburb, so tenants rely on the bus network along Scarborough Beach Road and West Coast Highway, with Stirling and Glendalough stations the nearest rail connections.
Scarborough's rental stock is unusually mixed — high-rise and low-rise apartments near the coast, original beach houses, and townhouses filling in the older blocks between. It draws a younger, largely professional tenant base, which means faster turnover and more competition than the family suburbs further north. If you want to rent my property in Scarborough with confidence, accurate pricing, careful applicant selection and a zero rent-arrears policy do more for your annual return than chasing the highest advertised figure.

Enquire NowNo hidden monthly extras. You know exactly what you pay, every month.
We understand Scarborough's split market — coastal apartments and older beach houses attract very different tenants, and each needs its own pricing and marketing approach.
Strict screening and national database checks — important in a suburb with higher natural tenant turnover.
The Principal manages your property personally — consistent, hands-on service.
Yes. Scarborough has a far higher proportion of apartments and units than most suburbs we cover, and we manage them alongside houses, townhouses and villas. Apartment tenancies bring their own considerations — strata by-laws, parking allocation, common property repairs and building access — and we handle the strata relationship so you are not caught between your tenant and the strata manager.
Scarborough is a destination suburb, so some stock moves between short-stay and long-term letting. That can make advertised rents look inconsistent and makes genuine comparable evidence more important than usual. We appraise against properties that actually leased on standard residential tenancies, not holiday rates, so the figure you get is one a long-term tenant will realistically pay.
They can. Salt air and sand accelerate wear on window and door hardware, fly screens, air conditioning units, external fixtures and paintwork, particularly on properties closer to the coast. Our routine inspections look for that deterioration early, when it is a small repair rather than a replacement, and we report it to you with photographs.
Scarborough attracts strong tenant enquiry, but speed depends on accurate pricing and presentation rather than optimism. We give you an honest appraisal with the comparable evidence behind it, advise on anything worth addressing before we list, and market the property properly so you can choose from a field of well-qualified applicants instead of settling for the first one.
