Year 2012 is going to be a big year for Northam and surrounds - some exciting new developments are going to create hundreds of jobs - and now is the time to consider buying in Northam as a place to live and/or invest.

Northam is a pleasant country town just 100 kilometres from Perth - 1 hour drive along Great Eastern Highway.  The Town of Northam and Shire of Northam recently amalgamated to now become known as the Shire of Northam boasts a population of approximately 10,000 people.  The Shire stretches from Wundowie to Grass Valley to Southern Brook . 

Northam offers a terrific country lifestyle in a town with great communtiy spirit and ONLY one set of traffic lights to negotiate.

Northam boasts many historic buildings, homes, excellent shopping, services and facilities, hospital, 3 doctors surgery's, 4 primary schools and a senior high school, TAFE, Muresk Institute of Agriculture, olympic size swimming pool, home of hot air ballooning and the annual white water classic the Avon Descent.

You can purchase wonderful homes at prices far less than you would expect to pay in the city (Perth). Elders Real Estate can even assist you with our very own Elders Home Loan service.  Ring Sharon Hawkins on 0416 170 346 or e-mail sharon.hawkins@eldershomeloans.com.au to see if you qualify.

Why not enjoy the country living but close to the city.  We even have the Avon Link train service where you can live in the country and work in Perth.  This train provides a service each day Monday to Friday for the working person.

Come and enjoy Northam and the Avon Valley - there is so much to explore.
