Roads, parks and sporting grounds have also been improved. These changes, together with the suburb's location and Perth real estate trends, have resulted in a significant increase in property values in the area. Most public housing has now been sold off to private owners. The houses in the area are typified as 1960s 3-bedroom-1-bathroom brick and tile cottages with solid timber floors on blocks.

Geography Coolbellup is bounded by Winterfold Road (named after The Winterfold Estate, which was the home of the Healy family) to the north, Stock Road (originally part of a stock route from Robb Jetty to Midland Junction) to the west, North Lake Road to the east, and Forrest Road (named after Sir John Forrest, then the Surveyor General of Western Australia) and the Roe Highway reservation to the south.

The main park, Len Packham Reserve, located on Waverley Road to the rear of the Coolbellup Shopping Centre is used for little league soccer training and the park also has basketball courts and a skatepark. Also adjacent to the shops, on Cordelia Avenue is the Coolbellup library. The other main park is Tempest Reserve on Coolbellup Avenue, home of the Coolbellup Australian Football Club.
