Ellenbrook is almost as far from the beach as you can get, but Yes you may get some cheaper houses? It's a fairly new area (popped up over last 10-15 years out of now where).
Bayswater is a mixed bag, as are most suburbs, but it has some nice older homes (cheaper) and river side homes (more expensive).
As for gang-members I would imagine they live everywhere in suburbs across the whole of Perth? Overall, Perth's "gang" activity would have to be considered like the Boy Scouts compared to other world cities? It fairly minimal.
The hard thing for Perth at the moment is high rents and high house prices. You're stuck either way. If you can share you will be able to save a little.
Good luck
