Armadale, WA 6112

I have lived and worked in Armadale for 44 years (yep born and bred) and have watched the city go from strength to strength with millions of dollars being spent on upgrading transport networks, shopping precincts, recreation and more.

The area is well located only 28kms from Perth, surrounded by the beautiful hills and is expanding East at a rapid rate making it one of the biggest Cites in Perth.

We have 2 major shopping centres, loads of parks, sporting clubs and a huge range of public and private schools.

Sure, it gets a bad wrap from the media because anything bad that happens in surrounding suburbs gets reported as the offender appeared in “Armadale Court” or if it happened on the trainline its “the Armadale Train line” when in fact it wasn’t in Armadale at all. I’m not saying Armadale is perfect as there are a few pockets that may be less than desirable and yes like many other suburbs we do have some crime, but its rapidly changing for the better.

Have a chat with the vast majority of locals that have lived here for years and we love it!

I had to evacuate my daughter late at night, from a house we purchased for her, due to constant foul mouth abuse and threats from her neighbour. The police were like ‘we can’t do anything without proof’. I would not recommend anyone to live in Armadale. Constant verbal arguments heard from down the street, police sirens, unsafe for single females. My daughter installed security screens, then security cameras, and was still terrified of the verbal abuse from her neighbours. I recommend paying mor

Armadale is a great historic suburb with lots to offer. The shopping centres have just about everything you need. There are always improvements being made. The new Aquatic centre is amazing, you have the champion lakes regatta, 26 primary schools, 12 secondary schools and 3 libraries in the City of Armadale. There are so many lovely older homes with many fruit trees, new builds in newer development areas just 5 minutes from the City Centre. Cheap and affordable living.

Concur: History does repeat itself, yes Armadale WA will be one of those underdog suburbs evolving into one of the best! Drive around & watch this space for more - evolution at it's best.

I have live here 20 years this time around, having lived south of Sydney, and in Melbourne. The council is very progressive, and much has been done in recent years to improve the area, with lots of improved playgrounds, pavements, trees etc. I live in a small cul de sac, and it is quite normal. House prices are very low at the moment, so it would be great value, but just interview neighbours in any street before buying. You can pick up houses under $250K, and be close to schools, trains and buses.

I have worked in Armadale for over a year and would never recommend anyone to live here the people are rude, fights are always breaking out, vandalism everywhere, constant roberys, and dodgy people always looking to start trouble.

Lived here. Had 3 break -ins in 8 months. Not recommended for families.

I hate it when someone says don't go to armadale its a horrible place because its not true i have lived in armadale for a little over 10 years now and had to move recently to a new house and all i cared about was that the house was still in armadale so don't listen to the negativity said about armadale i couldn't dream of living anywhere else.

I'm sick and tired of people talking absolute poorly about Armadale! You can say I've been almost everywhere in WA and NOTHING compares to Armadale.. At first I used to live up North in Sterling but then decided to live down south closer to my friends and school. I live in Armadale for about 4 years and loved and moved to a newer house in Seville Grove (which is basically Armadale). What's there Not to love. You have all these new major Shopping areas (OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK TILL 9PM!! 5pm on Sat and Sun), schools, medical facilities. And now new houses and MOREEEEE! People here are nice (Well most of them anyway). Those who live in Armadale and talking nonsense! You should be thankful where you live! If you dont like your neigbourhood, then move or stop blaming the whole suburb!!!

As some one that has lived in many many places in WA from Tom Price to Mandurah and in between. The reasons why I purchased a house in the area are. Wanted a house on real block of land close to services schools cafes medical and transport. I'm very happy with the area.

Being a young family we had a small budget for our home so we bought a nice place in armadale. We heard all the rumours about armadale but as we have been living here for close on three years i can honestly say that they are all untrue, and you need to experience armadale for yourself to be able to judge it. There's lots of shopping, great cafes, friendly people. Great parks and gardens to take your kids. Great eating. There's nothing bad that i can say about it. I feel we live on a great street. And it's great driving home looking at the hills.

Have lived in Armadale for 20 years and it has come along way!

Great for first home buyers or anyone with a smaller budget :)

Been living in Armadale for three years and have not had one single trouble whilst living here. I cannot believe the constant ramblings from people trashing Armadale...Obviously they have never been or they have had a one off incident, incidents occur in every suburb! Armadale has come along way from what it used to be with the development of the shopping centre and the lovely parks such as Minnawarra. There is plenty to do throughout the year with activities like the Highland Gathering, Strongman contest etc. Since moving to Armadale I have shown many of my friends and family just how wonderful Armadale is and they are all quite gob smacked how nice it is and how untrue all the rumours are. I think these reviews are actually a terrible idea as unfortunately it will deter people from Armadale without even giving it a look, I saw one person's review saying that they were shot at! What a load of absolute rubbish.

Please do not judge a book by its cover and discover the true Armadale for your self.

Armadale has come a long way in the last 5 years. New shops, new train station, more new shops. However its still really far from the city, the train system in Perth isnt that great so you will be hanging around the train station, hoping you dont get mugged. If you love great food, then dont bother going to Armadale or any other suburb within a 15 min distance. The choices in food range from wok in a box, hans cafe and lots of fast food. The Manse is the only good quaility place, but its too fine dining for a regular week day. If you are young, work close to the city and enjoy going out, then dont move to Armadale.

I moved into Armadale in April 2011, and as a first home buyer it was something that I could afford. I live in a good part of armadale, and it is reasonably quite and it is fairly safe where I live. Close to the train, and shops... with 7 day a week trading! Good place to start out... shame the property prices don't increase that much! Eating out is average in the area, not many places to go that are decent enough.... And there are issues with anti social behaviour and the local parks are nothing to write home about

We have been looking for investment property in Armadale for last 10-12 months. Price has gone up in last 4-5 months. Rent return is good and property prices are low compare to Willetton, Riverton, Parkwood, and other GOOD suburbs.
It is a rough area, you can see vandalism and tagging on fences and walls. I want to buy at least one property in Armadale. Prices will definitely GO up.

Armadale is an outer suburb of Perth and is only 28 kms from the CBD of Perth. Many people commute to the city for work using a very good public transport system of rail and bus lines as well as driving in private vehicles. Depending on the type of work you do there are also many employment opportunities in Armadale itself as the area is large and continues strong growth. Armadale has many sporting venues including an aquatic centre, playing fields for most sports, an indoor recreation centre with gym, and courts for netball basketball etc. There is a BMX track located nearby as well as a skate park. There are numerous clubs and associations operating in the area. Armadale is a very family orientated area and there are lots of parks and reserves for family picnics and BBQ’s with children’s play areas. There are Pre primary, primary and secondary state and private schools in this area and Armadale is serviced by the Armadale –Kelmscott Memorial Hospital and there are several medical centres. Home prices have risen and are now quite expensive. Rental market is stable and prices are higher than one would expect. Plenty of shopping available with large centre with supermarkets variety stores boutique and specialty stores.
