"South of Dome Cafe is a lovely pocket"

We bought a home in Butler on one of the side streets coming off Kingsbridge Blvd, close to Marmion Ave. It’s a lovely pocket in Butler and one of the older developments, so the blocks are larger (minimum 650 m2), tree lined streets with mature trees, walking distance to the beautifully landscaped lake and parklands, Dome Cafe, Cornerstone Pub, Coles, Poolworks and some small take away shops. Most the houses in this pocket are owner occupied and a lot have beautifully maintained front gardens and verges. For the current realestate prices here, it’s extremely good value, 3 mins to the beach by car, nice new highway to the CBD (30 mins) new train line (37 mins to CBD), landscaped gardens, buried power cables, pretty street lights, and some roads even paved at the start for some character. Never had any issues.

Hi Rob! We are about to move to Butler just up from the Dome on Wadhurst road. A lot of comments on here talk about the crimes and hoons in Butler, but a lot of these posts also don't have a date on them which makes me think situation has improved. Have you felt a good sense of security there so far? Nothing too dodgy that you have noticed?

"Bad experiences"

My view of Butler is negative and that's putting it mildly.

Agreed. Its a disgusting suburb! Glad we got out of there when we did.

butler_resident

Sadly, I agree. Lots of trouble, especially with what's going on currently.

We are considering a rental we've been accepted for near East Butler Primary. Is it really that bad?

Yes, youd be better off renting in Merriwa or Quinns.

butler_resident

@emmaspencer I think it depends which part, if you are closer towards the show homes, which were on Landbeach Boulevard near IGA, you could be alright, but it seems the further east you go, the worse it seems to get. I would stay away from the areas that are close to the train station, 7/11 and that sort of thing. I know earlier this year there were cars being broken into every single night in Butler, especially around the Claremorris area

We accepted the house, it's claremorris parkway. 25 minute walk from the train station. Some friends lived in the area, said it's not bad. My mate is a cop here and said this area is OK, yanchep is worse and that's another area we were looking at. Fingers crossed...
