Suburb profile

Mount Burges sits up in the Coolgardie hills, a smaller community where elevation and tree cover define the mood. Distance from the capital is part of the appeal, with wide open surrounds and a self-contained community rhythm. Fresh country air and elevated outlooks are part of the appeal up here among the hills.

The community skews younger, with family life visible on every street. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.

The area offers approachable housing costs alongside a lifestyle that still feels complete.
