Como overview
Como is an established suburb bound to the west by the Canning and Swan Rivers. Part of the City of South Perth's municipality, Como experienced its most significant development during the 1950s and 1960s, with gradual growth since the early 1990s as new dwellings were added to the area.

Parks and reserves are a dominant aspect of the Como landscape, such as one of Como's most notable features the international standard 27 hole Collier Park Golf Course. The Como Hotel is a popular bar, café and restaurant in the suburb and a recognisable fixture of Canning Highway. There are also some shops in the area to service local requirements, as well as four local schools, including Penrhos College.
