Banksia Grove, WA 6031

I lived in Banksia Grove for a while but I had to move as where I was barking dogs struck up the band for hours once their owner left for work. I left later but it would have gone on for at least two hours. Unfortunately, I was sat amongst social homes and it was horrid. Frequent police in our street. The noise was awful with people playing extremely loud music. If I didn’t work one day, I had dogs barking plus the ramped up stereos. There didn’t seem to be any consideration for anybody else. I decided to move to find peace away from all the goings on I’d been faced with. I’m not saying it’s all bad but my situation wasn’t good. There were two crazy druggies in my street that would just go on screaming matches. I’m glad I moved because I’m now amongst decent people. Houses in that area are cheaper but it seems to invite uncouth youngsters and feral families. That’s how it was for me. Pretty bad.

I was living next to a bikie who didn’t work, his g/f worked full time. As soon as she went to work it was on. There’s wasn’t a day it was free. Stereo full on and I popped over and asked him to kindly turn it down. He told me to ‘f off. I had my elderly mum living with me then too. On top of that Homeswest behind me throwing rubbish over and dirty nappies. The other side drug dealing house (Homeswest). They get kicked out then we get someone else and there was fighting going on. Finally, another single mother who put her kerb pick up two months early. It looked like a dive.

No, no, no. Don’t move here as it’s a bad area now. I had to get out and others have also.

Thing is, why am I blasted with music every night. It never stops. I’ve asked them to turn it down but they turn it on louder.

I lived in BG for quite a while, it wasn’t very pleasant at all. It nearly drove me to have a nervous breakdown with uncivilised neighbours. Go elsewhere if you can as this area seems to be quite bad now.

I wouldn’t advise anyone to move to this place. There’s so much going on and quite often there is ramped up music (if you can call it that). It’s hades, that’s the only way I can describe it. Think twice as it appears to have gone to the dogs, especially the old part. There’s a deli there that was very handy to go to and a friendly proprietor but I think he sold the business. It’s been totally vandalised and graffitied. There’s teens going around thieving, breaking into cars (this is a regular occurrence). Social housing with often drug dealers living in them. I had that issue in my street. Think seriously because it’s not getting any better. I had to move in the end. I’m glad I did too.

Please don’t move here. It’s a terrible suburb. Anti-social behaviour. You may get a good neighbour, you may not! I’d advise anyone to go anywhere but here. Invest elsewhere.

You may be lucky, but if not encourage anyone to move here, especially the old part. Both sides having state housing. My advice is look elsewhere and check areas out. It’s not all bad but it’s a chance you could end up with blasting music 24/7.

This maybe a cheaper area to build but I’ll warn any prospective buyers that this area has become exceptionally bad. Think twice before buying here. Kids throwing stones at cars, ramped up stereos, disrespectful neighbours, some live like pigs and I’m not blaming only Social Housing. Old BG is worse but the newer part has endless issues.

Don’t EVER buy here. Cops were at a house AGAIN today as man indoors with gun. If you move here you’ll be in the Bronx. Thumping music, people who don’t care about comfort of their neighbours. Homeswest nightmares tenants.

We couldn’t have asked for more. Simple lifestyle shops close by, plenty of parks and Burns Beach is a stone throw away.

No worries in this suburb. Easy lifestyle 👌

Works for the kids and our dogs. All the groceries stores are close by. As a single mum, I find this suburb very easy to live in.

It's been a great place to live in. It was largely Australian when I got here but some UK & South African people too now. Everything you need is here. Great internet 👏 nice parks & ocean breeze in the evenings. Can't complain.

Very convenient suburb. Nice neighbourhood

Glad we moved here
Caters to our families needs. Quiet neighbourhood.

I like the parks and it's only 10 minutes away from the Beach

Nice suburb for our young family. Very safe peaceful. Shops nearby. I enjoy living here

Great place to live. Shops & parks close by. Joondalup & Currumbine just around the corner. I walk my dog thrice a day & we've walked most of the beautiful streets in Banksia Grove. Lovely neighbourhood. Fast internet options available too. The naysayers negative reviews are nonsense. I have lived here for a year, never encountered a bogan or heard loud music.

Shocking place to live. Break-ins, children throwing stones at moving cars, at windows, graffiti, car break-ins, full of bogans.

Fantastic place. Close to everything & all shops at your doorstep. Fast internet options available.

WARNING. Boganville. Constant stereos going. Old BG is worse. Homeswest properties everywhere. The old part is pretty neighbouring the country and it is never the area that is a problem but the type of people that live there. It was affordable at one stage and house and land packages cheap. Folk don’t give a damn about their gardens and let the grass dry up. It’s not the water that is expensive, it’s the rates. This is the old part. They let their grass die off and if you want to sell your home it isn’t very encouraging to prospective buyers.

It’s bad , parties thump thump. Bogans, Move to a better place.

Very peaceful ✌️... got everything you need. Shops, parks etc. Internet & phone services are excellent. You can still find a very nice home under 650k. It is also surrounded by more expensive suburbs.

Fantastic suburb. Polite people. I live closer to Carramar side of Banksia Grove. It's really nice, here. Coles, Aldi and Woolies. Restaurants too. I am sure new development should prop up in the future. Hard-working polite Aussie population. Great internet services. surprised to see comments about bogans and internet issues here.

I lived in Banksia Grove with my family for 5 years and I enjoyed it.

Great place. Lots of family moving in and is now expanding to more homes being built. I read past comments about others mentioning internet problem, loud music and neighbors issue, but my experience living in this lovely suburb i never encountered any of those. It does seem Banksia now has greatly improved and its a homie and family friendly atmosphere. It’s accesible to bus stops, golf clubs, place to get food and road to freeway. I think give it more time and the better it will become especially with the developement going on the newer area.

My experience living in Banksia Grove has been incredibly positive. I recently had the pleasure of relocating to Banksia Grove. From the serene surroundings to the welcoming community, Banksia Grove has proven to be an ideal place to call home.

Great place. Lots of parks, shopping close by. Very quiet and you get the ocean breeze in the evening. Fast mobile internet and fibre options. Reviews that mention internet issues probably outdated.

Don’t move anywhere near this place.
1. Bogans
2. Loud music
3. Graffiti everywhere
4. Kids who run riot

I love Banksia Grove the parks and houses are very clean and beautiful. My neighbours were very kind. But I'm very sad that I have moved away from it and hopefully I will live there again in the future overall I recommend the place very safe and schools are great!

We lived here for 4 years.
Really great place , convenient for shops as all coles,wollies and aldi next to each other.
Great parks.
Only issue is you will not get NBN ever!

As developers had a dodgy plan with LBnco you will only get to choose from few internet providers. You will not be able to get internet from Telstra, TPG , iinet.
You will be paying same price for a slow internet connection. If you are in IT industry or fan of NBN this is not the best place to buy a house or land. As these infrastructure will not be changed any sooner!

it a nice place, but where i live is just off the main road so all the time i see is people speeding past and all the training cops driving past blaring there sirens all the time. it is a little frustrating. otherwise it is beautiful

I live in the Carramar Golf Estate. The area was called Carramar but was then changed to Banksia Grove which had an immediate effect on house prices there.. Hmmmm wonder if thats class actionable!
But besides the obvious scam, the area is actually really nice.

The elevated bright and open areas have a resort feel about it in my opinion. Beautiful up there on hot sunny days. The houses are nice, neighbours friendly, and parks make for a good looking area.

I've read comments about bogans and their toy cars. Yes, Banksia Grove is not immune to them. But I challenge anyone to tell me an area in Perth that doesn't have this to some degree. Because personally I haven't seen it yet.

I've enjoyed living in Banksia Grove more than in most other areas of Perth. It is a great place for families. With lots of friendly ones around.

Shopping at Joondalup is great and is only 10-min away. Restaurants in the area are of high quality and are recommended.

We have lived in the area for 31/2 years and have never had any issues with neighbours, crime or disturbances of any kind. We are in Delamere Park which is part of the Carramar Golf Course Estate so maybe the isses people have mentioned relate more to the other parts of Baksia Grove. My children do not go to the local schools so I cannot comment there, although I hear St Stephens is quite good - if you can afford it. We love the peace and quiet, although we are looking forward to the new town centre - hopefully some more local restaurants,pub, petrol station - who knows? Although Joondalup and wanneroo are only 10 minutes away, it can be a pain - especially for petrol - and the rush hour traffic can be a huge pain - even after widening joondalup drive. All in all I believe that Banksia Grove is a great suburb and is set to get even better.

Lovely parks. Shopping at new Carramar Village and Joondalup just down the road. New parks and shops planned as well.

Was lovely when we moved in - 2008, however too many Bogans living here now. They stand out a mile, barking dog, noisy car/s, noisy kids and loud music, not just loud but extreme bass levels which reverberate throughout the house. They also have their bogan friends over hence conversation is extremely loud with every other word beginning with 'f' and ending in 'k'!
Personally I love our house, we have landscaped it to our desire, take a pride in it and find the location great for the beach, work, shops etc. but its typical of a few people spoiling it for the rest of us. Our street used to be lovely and quiet, however it is now used as a short cut for the tenants living on Sundowner Meander and the traffic noise has increased hugely also many of the drivers speed up and down this small road. I did contact the shire and suggest it be made into a one way street, but this was not considered.
Shame because the potential was there and although where we live is hugely more enticing than the old Banksia Grove, I still like it, just need to drop a bomb on some of the residents! Oh yes, when we purchased the land, we bought it as 'Carramar' and then later down the line it was changed to 'Banksia Grove', funny that!

We are a family of two small children and since moving to Banksia Grove we are constantly stressed. There are a high number of rentals which do not seem to attract good tenants. There are people doing burn outs and parties in and around us almost every weekend. Seriously there are signs posted saying "high risk break in area". We struggle for take aways, petrol and food from about Friday night as nothing here!!! You have to drive to Wanneroo (about 10 mins) or Currambine for fuel, IGA or decent takeaways. The neighbours are not friendly and there are too many cashed up young people buying small villas and not caring about their home. If you drive around you will notice really rough streets (Ghost Gum Bvd) and the local primary school has a BAD reputation. Our mobiles always cut out and the parks are mediocre and make you feel very unsafe. Honestly keep looking as I have been on the phone to the police over various matters about 6 times in one year!!!! Not a place to raise young kids!! Recently we attended the community meeting and about half a dozen residents turned up which really explains the area.

Bought her a few months back, lovely area, nice young families arround, park and shops close by - plus lakeside shopping centre 10minutes down the road, quick to get to the freeway and the beach isnt too far away.
