Nollamara, WA 6061

Under 15 mins from everything. North Beach, city, Leederville, Karrinyup. Lots of parks that the council seem to really look after. Multicultural, friendly, convenient. Great suburb for first home buyers as price is still reasonable. Secret gem…

Been living here for past 2 years love it close to shops and not far from Hillary's The bad reputation it once had has now gone only a hand ful of crazy people living here now.never been broken into. Police always driving around day and night looking out for any bad behaviour. It's has become a very multicultural place. Also very quite. I never ever hear anyone playing there music. Parks are beautiful and lovely relaxing people go there,and take their dogs walking.Times have really changed in nollamara extremely quite. Only 1/4 of bad people still live here though. But highly recommended buying or renting here now. I call it the NEW NOLLAMARA. YES U DO STILL GET A FEW BAD PEOPLE HANGING AROUND NOLLAMARA SHOPS STILL. LOVE IT HERE!!! PEACEFUL.

I've lived in Nollamara since 2012. Since I've lived here there has been about 10 new houses built on my street alone. Very quiet and lovely neighbours and great access to public transport, CBD, beach & Leedy. The local shops are pretty convenient and also has Kakulas Sisters which is a real gem. The local shopping center could use a renovation and a few derros around sometimes but this is Perth, you get that everywhere. It's only a 6 minute drive to Dogswamp shops which is where I mostly shop. If they improved the local shops and spent a bit of money on it I would go there more. Overall it is a great suburb that is centrally located. I used to live in Scarbough and suffered a few break-ins, but never had an issue in Nollamara. I have friends in Yokine that have had break-ins which is a nearby suburb but supposedly better. One final complain I have is more for the entire city of Perth. People need to stop parking on lawns. They should issue parking fines since it kills the grass and doesn't look orderly or lawful.

Nollamara is a suburb which has been badly neglected by the local council and other authoritys such as the closure of the local police station due to government budget cuts,this has caused the crime rate to soar (home invasions,burglary ,car theft,aboriginals drinking and accosting people at the local shopping centre for money,vandalism and graffiti to name just a few of anti-social crimes that happen there every day)

Born & raised in Nollamara, and raised my 2 beautiful daughters here on Almurta Way!
Nollamara has changed so much over the past 50 years and I love watching this ever-growing suburb, I am lucky enough to also work this area and sell to the new residents; young professionals, families, downsizers, builders and more.
I love seeing the sale prices rise and gaining long standing friendships with my clients.
I know Nollamara like the back of my hand and have even been nickbamed "Mr Nollamara" by the kids at Nolla Primary School :)

We have lived in Nollamara for 4 years now and love it! It has a great community feel which I especially have noticed after having a baby. I can walk to 3 shopping centres from my house (Mirrabooka Square, Hillsborough & Northlands) and less than 10 kms from the city, Mt Lawley & Leederville. We have a great 3x2 built in 2006 that we can acutually afford to pay off with a single wage! Sure we dont have a huge back yard or a cinema room, but we have a beautifully maintained park just a minute down the street (Des Penman) and really nice neighbours (one brings in our bin, the other mows our front lawn- we repay them with lemons from our tree!). We have made friends with many other young families in the area just from meeting at the library, park & shops. I do a lot of walking around our suburb with bub in the pram and sure there are a few "interesting" looking houses and people but we have never had any issues from them. A great affordable suburb which I would highly reccomend. The only downside I see is that the old houses are being demolished so quicky and 3+ villas going up on the 1 block- traffic is going to be an increasing issue especially in peak hour.

Take a drive through the streets of Nollamara during the day, sure there may be a plethora of new houses but there's also a lot of dumps with un kept lawns, rubbish out the front (think broken prams etc) and the good old Australian Flag flying high and proud. Make sure to check out the bus stops too for an insight to who your possible neighbours will be. Not safe. Not sound.

We have lived in Nollamara for the past 10 years and have seen dramatic changes in that time. It used to be fairly rough with a bad reputation but now it is family friendly and up and coming.

All of the older houses are being replaced by new villas and there are so many new families around.

You can't beat the location - 10 mins to the city, don't even have to use the freeway to get there! 15 mins to the beach and 10 mins to my favourite shops............Karrinyup.

The local IGA is a bit dirty and at times has undesirables around, but because of our locations I rarely go there - I shop at Dogswamp and Flinders Square. The kebab shop near IGA is amazing and super yummy!

This suburb keeps getting better and better!!!!!

I have bought a house in Nollamara in Laythorn street (Dianella Border) after consulting to few of my friends who are living for some time here. Before buying I did a thorough research of my own. Had options to buy in other suburb as well but at last used to visit Nollamara every now & then to have a feel about it. & now after moving in I realize that it was one of the best decision I've made in my life. it is so peaceful & quiet. Nice neighbours. Close to schools, beach, public transport, shopping options & much more close to city. The people who are making negative comments are the people who have not seen the recent developments & newly built houses & residents now. OR they can not afford to buy here.

We have lived for a year where Ravenswood Dr meets Amelia St and so far we
Haven't had any personal bad experiences in regards to robberies/out of control neighbours
or intimidation by the locals.
Our street does seem to have alot of car and foot traffic. The cars drive too fast on our St (Carcoola St)
the council are placing speed bumps all through it in 2013. Foot traffic is great lots of families with their children
Or mums and children. Des Penman park seems to be kept in good condition when I have gone there with my toddler.
The local shops (IGA etc) are in below average shape in regards to both the physical upkeep and the company that may occasional hang there during the day asking if you have spare change ( has only happened once to me, found this particular person intimaditing but when I said I had no change she left me alone)
Very close to loads of shopping centres, recreational centres and pools. I do my food shopping at Innaloo but there is the Stirling shops, Karrinyup Mall,Morley Galleria, Innaloo Westfield, Mirrabooka square and Dog Swamp. Balga pool is lovely and only a less than 5 mins drive.
Handful of local childcare centres to choose from, we use Nollamara Day Care. Very homely and mature staff who keep very good communication with parents. But there is also 2 more in Mirrabrooka as well as Good learning start on Flinders.
I am happy with where I live in Nollamara. However I wouldn't say all of Nollamara is as good. We have good neighbours who are quiet but we have had a handful of nights where people have wandered past on the street yelling abuse to whomever is with them etc. But nothing which has needed police involvement, they are often just walking past.
Lots of take out places close at hand.
When we moved here we looked at all Internet providers only to find that Telstra are the only providers for this particular area (which in our opinion isn't so great as have found their service well below bad...but that's another review)
Hope this is helpful!

I have relocated in Nollamara for nearly half a year with my own residential new house here. I enjoy Nollamara's convenience to the fullest, and strongly recommend this suburb to professionals and family with kids. Prior to my relocation, I just had some ideas that Nollamara is close to CBD, without realising more of its benefits until my living here these couples of months.

It is centrally located in four business suburbs: morley, osborne park, balcatta and malaga, within 7km to arrive any of them. In addition, if your working place is in Bayswater it is still easy to get access to .Accordingly it caters for profesisionals who are working in these suburbs. I have been looking for jobs around these areas, and found out how lucky I am living in Nollamara since I have so many choices for jobs and little limitations.

Well, in regards to quiet and safety, I think it is subject to which part of Nollamara even which street counts. While my house is located one of the best streets in Nollamara, with great neighbourhood spirits, quietness and safety.

I believe some time later, when we purchase our next property (upgrade ourselves in residence) and let out this current one, great rental return will be garanteed.

I spent 7 months in Nollamara just prior to getting married and for about a year or so after and I really enjoyed it. The neighbourhood is on the rise as there are many new units replacing old houses. The park is in a convenient location and massive. The City and beach are both within 15 minute drive. Plenty of shopping options around with Nollamara Plaza, Dog Swamp, Karinyup, Balcatta and Osborne park close by. I am unfortunately selling my place as we are upgrading to a larger home.

Our daughter didn't want us to buy in Nollamara because of a perceived crime rate.We bought a new villa anyway and it is so quiet in our street,I just love it.We came from Waikiki where we had hoons,graffiti,litter and noise.None of that here.We did the right thing.

To purchase a new house and move into Nollamara is one of the best and right choices we have made in our life! Nollamara is a great suburb to live in!

Before we purchased the house, we browsed different websites and read different newspaper to find out which suburb is suitable to live in, while Nollamara is not at good reputation since some residents said it was an unsafe place with some lazy and goalless people and offensive or rude language. Well, what struck us is seeing is believing, so we went to Nollamara on our own being not misguided by others's opinion. We were happy we made the dicision.

It is convienently located about 10mins drive to CBD perfect for us to work in the city center. We were impressed by rows of newly-built villas and townhouses which turned this suburb into a brand new look. We attent several home open and astonished by the modern design of those new homes. Well design living area suits in reasonable blocks. No worries for taking care of large garden but you own your private coutyard that enables you to spend happy hours with your family members.

Everything is new! New houses, new residents, new look!

It is an up and coming suburb should be a great place to live in.

Nollamara is a booming and fast developing suburd with loads of potential in accordance with its perfect location.Located 9KM to CBD only 10mins drive to CBD when travel on Wanneroo RD ro Flinders St. Since the selling price in Yokine & Dianella has uprised drastically, Nollamara, as a border suburd with them, has now booming; And just next to Balcatta, Nollamara is only 15mins drive to the popular beach that residents here can easily drive to beach and enjoy relaxing moments there but not to be bothered by swamps of cars in front of your houses. Lots of shopping options such as Galleria Morley, Mirrabooka shopping center or Dianella Plaza are short drive away, also the local shopping center can meet the daily needs. Hardworking first home buyers, professionals or migrants keep moving in and this place should be a nice one to live in.

Nollamara, once a hidden secret, now has been exposed to public for its merits to meet the great demands as Perth's development and population enlarges. It locates 9-10KM to CBD and only 15mins drive to arrive CBD that fits the busy commuters; 15mins drive to the beach that being beach lovers' heaven. As well, being the Yokine and Dianella border suburb, lots of shopping options to choose from while you can go to Yokine or Dianella shopping center, and Morley Galleria is also minutes drive when you drive on the Morley drive. Big but old blocks have been redevelped into new villas or townhouses while the price is uprising smoothly. Nollamara is a suburb full of potential to live in or invest.

There are many newly built and fashionable villas or townhouse in Nollamara presently, with new immigrants and first home buyers moving in. Everything is new and this area is becoming more and more beautiful, safe and sound. Should be a potential suburb in the soon coming future. Today's buying will be tomorrow's money maker.

Nollamara is an established suburb with loads of potential. Our area is quiet and safe, and nearby to a number of schools and child care options. In addition, we are close to parks (of different sizes) and bus stops that take you into the CBD within 15-20mins.

Nollamara is very up and coming trendy area with a large influx of executive couples, young families and first home buyers. Nollamara is a cost effective option for living very close to the City, Freeway and major amenities. Riding hot on the heels of Yokine and Tuart Hill I think this area is very well priced and is constantly being rejuvenated.
