Lowlands Crescent, Secret Harbour, WA 6173

We moved onto this street last year (having previously lived 1km away, near Warnbro Sound Ave). We predominantly chose it for its beachside location - being just 1 street away from the quietest beach in Secrets (the other ones being the patrolled one at the surf club and the dog beach, next to it), and because we needed an extra bedroom. Since moving here we can't believe how quiet it is! (ok so we did live next to the main road previously, but you can sit on your porch (or back yard!) and enjoy a glass of wine whilst listening to the waves, and traffic is quiet with only the odd car passing by. There's a park at the end of the road, close enough for children to walk to on their own.... everyone is super friendly and you can't wear earphones walking the dog because you have to keep removing them so you can talk to passers-by and say hello!

The only downside about this street is its distance from the primary school and college, as now it's too far for my kids to walk. However, most of the time it's too hot to walk, anyway! ;-) I cycle into town to the shops sometimes, and it only takes me 10 mins. The golf club is within walking distance and is a great place to go for a coffee or meal out. Oh, and there's a bus stop a few minutes around the corner (on Bancoura Parkway).

With regards safety, we've never had any problems (touch wood!) and have had many a parcel delivered without it going astray....or things left out the front that don't go 'walkabouts'. This isn't the case in other areas of Secrets, so we feel grateful to be in such a safe area where our kids can wander the streets with their friends, go to the beach or park and play out the front without any concern :-)
