Doubleview/Scarborough dev sites are starting to come down, Trigg/North Beach are still significantly above the 1mil.
Many across Scarb/Doubleview are now 800-900 for a triplex block.
I'd take Bayswater/Bassendean everyday of the week before beechboro/lockridge area, you said you weren't interested in Balga type properties and realistically beechboro/lockridge is probably worse than balga in recent years.
