"Best Suburb"

Atwell, where I’ve proudly called home for the past five years, is a truly wonderful suburb that has captured my heart. Here’s a glimpse of what makes it so special:

1. A welcoming neighborhood filled with friendly families as neighbors.
2. Spacious lots and wide streets that create a sense of openness.
3. Abundant greenery, complete with a fantastic skate park for outdoor enthusiasts.
4. Convenient proximity to the Cockburn train station, serving as a gateway to the city, with quick 20-minute commutes and plenty of seating.
5. The peace of mind provided by the excellent Cosafe security system, ensuring the safety of your home even during vacations.
6. Easy access to a variety of shops, including Cockburn Gateways and numerous other retail options.
7. The nearby Cockburn ARC for fitness and recreation.
8. An exciting future prospect: being super close to the planned largest wave/surf park in the southern hemisphere.”

"Poor neighborhood experience"

If you do not mind youth or teenagers throw pieces of garbages on your lawn or a wooden branch in your recycle bin, then it is a 'fine' place to live. Plus sometimes hear clearly of your backyard neighbor talking even your doors are shut tight.

"Family Friendly"

Atwell is a great family friendly suburb with plenty of landscaped public open spaces. With the benefit two local shopping centre's, two train stations, two primary schools and a high school. With a mix of homes on large lots and also small cottage lots, there is something for everybody in Atwell.

"Great suburb"

Atwell has been home for over a decade and we are very happy here. Great suburb for families with kids, or anyone really.
Close to two train stations and now the new metro rail thats coming up, close to Cockburn gateways and Atwell has it's own small shopping centres which is really convenient.
2 good primary schools within the suburb and Atwell College which I cannot comment on as I do not have children who go there.
Coogee beach is a short drive down Beeliar drive.

The council should pay more attention to maintaining verges and public walkways but other than that, it has been a safe and lovely place to live in .

"Would be good without the troubled youth"

It’s a very clean suburb with great parks and near to cockburn shops, but the kids around these ways couldn’t care about anything. My mate was robbed at knife point on the way back from the bottleo from kids who look no older than 15, besides that it’s a great suburb houses are modern and loads of families.

"My Home Suburb"

I have lived in Atwell with my family for 14 years. We have only bad that has happened is our front mat was stolen.

I advise to people new in the area and moving in: get security cameras and alarms for your house. That way you and your family will be safe.
Atwell has great access to the shops and freeway.

I recommend find a quiet street to live on, don’t be close to main roads, otherwise your nights sleep will be interrupted by cars speeding past.

There are some big property’s east Atwell, I recommend around that area.

"its great of you dont mind someone in your backyard every now and then"

were a family of 4 and moved into atwell in Feb 2020, were on the Cockburn page and have noticed people saying they've had someone trying to break in... and then we were one of them and later found at least everyone on our street had someone break into their house. Ive lived in Perth for 10 years in karrinyup, Scarborough, innaloo, north Perth, yangebup and have not once had a scenario of someone trying to get in. It seems the youth in atwell are causing trouble, so unless you have a deterrent in your yard I wouldn't recommend. it seems to be going to crap, such a shame since its a very nice neighbourhood with so many families. Theres a lot of teenagers from 13-17 just walking around in groups drinking/smoking and harrasing people for these things too, hopefully cosafe can clear these teens off but after having someone stare at me in the shower through my backyard window we are moving but we were moving anyway so it just made It more convincing.

"Good for young family"

Traffic Jam means, it is developing suburb.
Shopping centre, Train, freeway ,Arc, Bunnings, parks for dog walking and near schools...perfect location for life style. Especially has good walking path for walking, hard to speed car unlike other towns.
Feel Safe with neighbors.
Most of houses has swiming pool and bigger size of lot and more greenery compared to new suburb.

Minus point only one thing that seems like shool don't care much academic. Primary and College is inside of the town to easy to access but seems dont care much of study. Bottom of the school ranking in Perth.
