Chinatown, Perth
Perth has a Chinatown on Roe Street in the inner city suburb of Northbridge. There are many more Asian businesses found on the section of William Street, Perth between Northbridge and Highgate than at the official Chinatown. Historically many Chinese (usually of Malaysian, Singaporean or Indonesian background) settled in Northbridge alongside other immigrant groups. The city's low density population and comparatively cheap property encourages migrants to move to the expanding suburbs. Asian students often chose to live in suburbs near universities, such as Bentley, Murdoch and Nedlands.[1][2][3]
