Reviews of Nollamara, WA

"Multicultural snd friendly"

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…

"Nollamara"

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.

"Great Suburb, Very Safe"

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"

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)

"Nollamara is my suburb, proudly!"

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 love Nollaz!"

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.

Nollamara has really cleaned up it's game nowadays.Back in 1985/86 it was a different story for sure when I attended Mirrabooka High School.Low density private dwellings is what was needed-get rid of most of the old skool shitty Homeswest eyesores.

I love Nollaz too - lived here 11 years now as a young professional couple and now a couple with two kids. We have a huge block with awesome neighbours. It takes me 10 mins to get into the city and 15 mins to get to the beach. The demographic if the area has changed deprastically over the last 10 years and it really is a hidden gem of a suburb.

Rezza

Ps - heaps better and closer to the city and beach than Dianella - which is supposedly a 'better' suburb. Just stick to the Yokine boarder (Morley Dve side) and you are fine. I think the Mirrabooka side can be a bit rough. Basically don't cross Nollamara Ave is my usual advice to anyone wanting to move here

"Not Safe"

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.

So 2 things here, you are either a real estate agent trying to drive prices down so you can exploit it and make a cheap buy or just one of the many modern day "experts" that take a quick look at things and know everything within 6 seconds... I am tired of hearing gratuitous rubbish info from the many people like you that litter this planet.

I have lived on Vermont street for 6 years, drive down that street by the way... it is one of the most quietest, peaceful places I have ever lived in my lifetime and I have lived in a LOT of different places in Australia and abroad. The neighbors on my street are all hard workers regardless of the color of their skin. There are a lot of BMWs and Mercs parked around my street, even the occasional Lambo/Prosche... so what would you say if you saw that? It's a "Rich" suburb?

The only "incidents" I had there was someone knocking on the door one night (ONCE in 6 years) asking if he could have some cash because he ran out of fuel, was told no and he went peacefully. There are some parts of Nollamara that are rough, but not in the proximity of Wanneroo Road such as where I live... it's just as good as the other side of Wanneroo Road (Balcatta).

On the other hand, the shopping center in Nollamara looks dirty by the end of the day, especially on weekends but there are all types of uncultured people causing that, hopefully it will keep improving... I personally go shopping down the road in Sterling or Balcatta to get away from that ugly aspect of the suburb. Balcatta shopping centre is just as far as Nollamara shopping center by foot...

So if you judge things by just driving though, what about Perth City on a Saturday night, or Leederville then is a crap hole because full of savages and ferals Saturday night throwing bottles and vomiting on the street? Northbridge is even worse, a dump? By that means of judgement, even Subiaco would be a crap place to live in... c'mon. Make some sensible comments and get a better lifestyle, you are obviously a sad little person.

Live in the place you judge first, then go ahead and make a comment, otherwise, keep those silly comments to yourself.

Mate, i lived there for 2 years and had too much trouble so i moved. No need to bring the "skin colour" card into it, i didn't mention anything about race. Think you need to listen to some "viola" and chill out xo Raymond

raymonddd

Also why would a realestate agent want to bring down prices? lol

davidviola68

Where exactly did you live there? Naturally you have avoided commenting on many points of my message where you know you are wrong in tarnishing the whole of Nollamara as a crap hole... I truly resent that. I have been there 6 years in Vermont street, no problems... the "colour" note is because I hear a lot of people complaining there are too many Africans there, and I don't like those sort of comments... the people at bus stops comment you made is very inappropriate; honestly you were not pointing out at something like that? Get real.
I am very chilled man, you on the other hand seem quite frustrated by your experience in Nollamara, probably better you're gone now, negativity is NOT what Nollamara needs anyhow... good riddance.

raymonddd

Oh come on Dave don't be like that, maybe we'll be neighbours one day? love you xo Raymond

"The location is so handy and our neighbours are fantastic"

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!!!!!

"Beautiful, Booming & great centrally Located Suburb"

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.
