This is a great little street, near a lake and shops and people live here forever and so do their children. It has a great community feeling and neighbours are very supportive and most people know each other and look after each other's gardens when neighbours go on holiday or away from home. It is a very quiet street and is almost all owner occupied. The real estate has skyrocketed over the last few years and it is very difficult to buy into the street unless you are very rich or earn a lot of money. Most houses now sell for upwards of 800,000 and then some. Gardens are well cared for and there are always kids playing outside. There are great schools and shops nearby, as well as a fantastic lake with a playground for the kids and there is a movie theatre and pub close by. There are lots of take-away restaurants and some good eat-in restaurants and food shopping is easy at Innaloo Shopping Centre. They have the best fish market in the state and the best fruit and vegie shop as well. Most people have lived in the street for nearly 40 years and although some new people have come, many of the old ones have stayed. Some have even built new homes at the back of their properties for their kids. The street is really peaceful and quiet and there is little noise from Liege Street which is a major link to the Innaloo Shopping Centre and Scarborough Beach Road, although you can hear it faintly. All of the homes in the street are well cared for with most homes having nice gardens. There are great schools, both government and private, close by and Edith Cowan University is nearby as well. Just off Pearson Street, there is a small market garden and on Saturdays throughout the year, there is a man called Vic who sells fantastic fruit and vegetables to the public. He grows the best watermelons ever! The property is 5 minutes walk away and it is extremely popular. Herdsman Grower's Market is also nearby and it has the best selection of beautiful fruit, vegetables and gourmet delights known to man - very expensive but delicious.

Fantastic street right in Kings Park and overlooking the city with fantastic views. Kings Park is the front yard. Public transport and the CAT buses are at the dorrstep and for exercise you just have to step out of your front door. You can only afford to live here if you are extremely wealthy and your apartment will be larger than most houses will ever aspire to and the luxury of the apartments will take your breath away. It is a fantastic lifestyle for singles, business people, couples and retirees who can lock up and leave. I don't think that apartment living is very good for families, but hey, with Kings Park as your garden then you can always take the kids to the park. The downside is that you could never let them go on their own. they would always need supervision to be safe. The street is tucked off Fraser Avenue and parking is dreadful for visitors but you are likely to own several car bays, so you will be all right as far as parking goes, even if your visitors aren't. The parking inspectors are hiding and lying in wait for unsuspecting people, so just don't think about outstaying your welcome. It will cost you. Living or investing in this street - you will grow richer by the year.

This is a great street filled with renovated old buildings, business premises and new apartments. It is very close to Kings Park and is very quiet on weekends when the business side of things stops for the weekend. It is easy to get to Subiaco and the city and transport is almost at your front door. There are convenience stores nearby like Gangemi's which ahs been there since the year dot. Lots of businesses have changed hands over the years, but there are a lot of new ones springing up and a lot of new buildings and refurbishments of old buildings. It is a good place for business people, singles and couples, but I wuld not recommend it for families.

This street is central to the CBD and has some great old units especially near the Kings Park end f the street. They are old with huge rooms and some even back onto gardens and have their own carports. It is a noisy street, but if you live in a unit at the back of the complex then the noise level is greatly reduced and you don't get to hear it much. Transport is excellent and Kings Park is within a 5 minute walk from the West Perth part of the street. Shopping and access to Subiaco is fantastic and there are so many restaurants nearby. Take your pick! It is not family friendly, but is great for singles, retirees who enjoy the urban lifestyle and for couples and business people.

This is a very interesting and cosmopolitan street in which to live and there is always something happening. There are many places to eat out and the river and foreshore are within walking distance. There are many units in this street and many are rented out and somea re owner occupied. many cater to the huge student population for students attending UWA. Braodway Fair Shopping Centre has been around for decades and many of the shops in the street have changed hands and names over the years, but the laundromat that has been there for aeons is still there. I remember using it way back in the early 70's. Cool place that laundromat. There are heaps of interesting and cheap, exotic places to eat and there are lots of great walks to go on. UWA is a fantastic place to visit or in which to study and has great gardens. Real estate in the street has skyrocketed and you won't get much change out of four or five hundred thousand for an apartment these days. A lot of the apartments are old style and would be good to renovate. Buses are plentiful and access to Fremantle and Perth city is really easy. Broadway is really central to everything. I wouldn't count on really knowing all of my neighbours, but most of the people around seem to be really quite friendly. With so many students and units there is s somewhat transient population. Broadway is a really interesting and great place to live. Steve's pub, which was an area icon and the hangout for uni students since forever, is being redeveloped. Something very important has now vanished from Nedlands. They should have kept Steve's the way it was. It had such character and gave people great memories. Now just rich yuppies and blue rinse people who will live in the very expensive upgrade will use it and it will never have the same atmosphere ever again.

This street is one of the most beautiful places on God's earth. There are 360 degree views of the ocean and it is a very peaceful street. The neighbours are o.k. too. The real estate on this street won't leave you much change out of a million k but you will like the fact that you can run down to the beach within a minute from your backyard. This street is in the better part of Warnbro across Warnbro Sound Avenue. It is fairly close to Rockingham and the Warnbro Fair Shopping Centre. It is a great street in which to raise a family and it is ideal if you are a retiree or someone who just loves to be in nature. It will be too quiet for you if you are a party animal. One drawback to the street is that it is above a carpark that services the beach and sometimes, there are unsavoury people around which makes the street feel a little unsafe. That being said, it is a lovely street and you would be happy to have such a beautiful place to call home.

This street has a lot of fairly new houses, many under 10 years old. However,it is not a good place to raise a family. There is a sense of a lack of safety and the neighbours are fairly rough and noisy. Many of them frequently play very loud music at all times, including into the small hours of the morning, with heavy base and do not care about the impact that this has on people who do not enjoy such loud rock music. There is a shopping centre within a short drive and there is a 10 minute walk to the bus. There are schools nearby as well. Socialising amongst the neighbours consists mainly of very loud house parties and noisy street parties. Most of the people who live in the street are blue collar workers. If you are looking at buying into this street as an investment, or you are young and don't mind incessant loud rock music and neighbours who don't care about your opinion of their lifestyle and music, you might like to live in this street. If you have children, this is the last street that I would choose to live in. There are no trees or birds of note and the street feels somewhat deprived. The gardens are fairly basic, although most are neat. Although there are some parks nearby, the area doesn't feel good to walk around.

East Street is close to all necessary facilities and close to the freeway, although far enough away not to be noisy. It is opposite a great park and this park is used extensively by people walking their dogs and for playing sports. The street is very close to buses and shops and the Mount Hawthorn Shopping Centre is close by. There are good retail outlets for food and specialty shops for gifts, bread and other items. The area has an ethnic base because there were a lot of Italian and Greek people who settled into the area as migrants when it began and now there are a lot of newcomers moving in as the elderly people vacate their homes due to old age or ill health. East Street is fairly quiet and living across from Menzies Park is a bonus. It is a good street in whcih to raise a family.

This street is very old and has houses from the turn of the last century and the area is zoned for preservation. You can only build new houses to your own design if they meet the council's specification. They want to preserve the atmosphere of the streetscape and new designs are not really welcome, although some exceptions are allowed. The street is very close to the cafe and shopping precinct and it is nice to walk around and see all of the old houses and it is really easy to get into the city. It is a good place to live if you are a business person or need to have quick access to the city. Good for singles and couples but not so good for families although there are happy families in the street. The houses are very expensive now to buy. Sometimes there are strange people wandering around and the food shopping isn't so great. but Innaloo Shopping Centre and Mount Hawthorn aren't far away. The freeway is really close and access to the city is easy. There is quite a turnover of properties although some people have been in the street for many years. It is a nice street in which to live.

Teakwood Avenue is located in the same street as Woodlands Primary School with Churchlands High School near the top of the other end of the street. Both schools have an excellent reputation and there are several private schools and a university nearby. Many families move into the area because of the educational facilities and the area is only approximately 7 kms from the CBD. Innaloo, Floreat and Karrinyup Shopping Centres are all within an easy drive and there is a beautiful lake near the street. The street also fronts a beautiful park that many people use to exercise themselves and their dogs. It is also used throughout the year for cricket and T-Ball. The street has quite a good flow of traffic but is not noisy and throughout the night there is very little traffic or noise. Most of the cars seem to go by during the peak periods and then it all drops off. Most people live in the street for years and the properties are tightly held. Over the past few years there has been quite a lot of redevelopment in the area with many people choosing to pull down and then erect more modern and larger dwellings. You couldn't find a better street to live in and I would recommend it highly. It is a very happy street and you are likely to bump into many people that you know when you walk to the local Village to the IGA. There are several families in the area that are into the third generation because the kids all grow up and then buy or rent in the area. It is that good! The local lake is a wonderful haven for people; children, families, singles, the elderly. It is well used and loved and there is an excellent children's playground. A walking path was completed around the perimeter of the lake within the last year and the walk is fantastic, especially with all of the wildlife and trees. The only bad thing about the area is that it is out of the price range of most ordinary people these days and a lot of houses sell for up to a million or more K. If you could buy real estate in the area, I would recommend it if you could afford it. You would never be disappointed. Most of the houses are owner occupied and those renting are people that you would be happy to live next door to. Maybe the price of living here excludes those who are anti-social. It is a very peaceful and beautiful street in which to live.

Our street is the most special, hidden away oasis you are ever likely to find. We are tucked away with 2 ends on our cul-de-sac and the only noise that you ever hear is that of the birds and the wind blowing through the trees. It is like living in the hills. We are between 2 main roads but get neither traffic nor traffic noise and there is an acre of trees with a park bordering the street. Most, if not all of the homes are owner occupied and there is a mix of young, elderly people and families. All of the properties are closely held with many people having lived here for over 20 - 30 years. Everyone is so happy with our beautiful and well kept environment; so much so that no-one wants to sell up and leave. It is a very safe street and there are many people around during the day, so eveyone keeps an eye out for anything strange or out of the ordinary. There are many trees and we mostly have beautiful gardens and a lot of the old growth native trees have been left when the homes were being built. Even though our street is situated where it is like living in the bush, we have a bus service approximately 2 minutes walk in 2 different locations and the train station is a couple of kms down the road. We are 17 kms from the city and it is easily reached via some main arteries and via the Mitchell Freeway. There is a major shopping centre within a km and within walking distance and the Woodvale, Kingsley, Karrinyup and Innaloo shopping centres are within easy reach. It is just a 5 - 10 minute Drive down Hepburn Avenue and you will arrive at the beach at Hillarys. We are 10 kms from Joondalup and Wanneroo. Compared to many really expensive suburbs in Perth, Kingsley, and in particular, our street, is excellent value for money and even though the values on Goollelal Drive, which is next street to this one, across the park, and the house values are somewhere near or over the million k mark for several of those houses, that street is noisier and a main thoroughfare. Our street is very sociable and each year we have a street party with all of the neighbours and we are an eclectic bunch comprising people from all walks of life from blue collar to professional. Many people from out of the area and within the area know our street really well and choose to walk with their dogs and families because it is so beautiful. Where else can you go to exercise your dog where there is an acre of trees within a minute's walk and an excellent open park with playground equipment for the children to play on? Our street is simply the best! I have lived here for 16 months after buying my home nearly 3 years ago and I think that I have scored gold. The tenants who occupied my home prior to me occupying it, said that it was the most peaceful place in which they had ever lived and one of them was a nurse working night shift. I want to stay here forever.
