Reviews of Perth (CBD), WA

26th June 2024

"Uneducated and Arrogant People"

Lots of miners, fifo workers and blue collar trades with very less education, foul mouth and sexual perversion. They make money from mining and they think that they are very great. Extremely selfish, racist and entitled. Will try to put people down who are migrants and trying to start a life in this city and show extreme forms of racism. There is also fetish for East Asian women by the local uneducated white Aussies. Lots of Aborginals also who waste their lives of drink and drugs and are quite dangerous to be around. Racism is high and nothing in terns of art, science, technology and culture. Stay away from this place!!!!

"Dangerous and Filthy Place."

I had lived in Perth, WA 6000 as in international student from 2022 to 2023. The the building that I lived in was safe but cannot say the same for the region around me. Lots of homeless and aborginal groups on the streets often high on drugs and alcohol abuse, will routinely abuse passerbys and make racist and offensive statements at international students and migrants, get arrested by police and released within few days as they would play the routine victim game and that they are not responsible for any of their actions in the present day apparently because of "colonization and intergenerational trauma". Not a safe place to raise children and I would avoid this place if you are a young professional or couple and want to start a new life.

"Perth life"

Perth has everything you need for a great night out or a fun day in the city. Lots of different choices of restuarants, bars and shopping outlets to choose from. Perth is a safe friendly place to visit with places like Kings park for a nature walk and stunning city views. Perth is the life.

"Needs improvement"

High crime rate, avoid Brewer street and along or near the railway line such as West Parade, railway parade, Lord Street and Broome Street. Perth is just a messy place with rich, middle and the hopeless homeless people just trying to get through it. There is nothing more maddening then listening to a drunk rant and scream at the wind while doing something unmentionable against your fence. We hightailed after 6 months. Lesson; always try before you buy. Harder now days but still its not worth making one of the biggest purchases of one's life by blindly going all in. Perth sadly only has transport and close to work as its pro and the cons heavily out weigh convenience.

"Great location, lovely river with a huge park central to all the population in Perth and accessible to all."

The CBD is not the place where most people choose to come other than if they have business in the city or come to work there. Parking is very expensive and most people shop where they live where they can get free parking and access the facilities they need. There are many lovely suburbs within easy reach of the city that are surrounded by trees and parks. It is an easy drive into the city if you live within a 20 km radius. The trains and buses are also available.

The lovely thing about Perth city CBD is the beautiful Swan River that runs through the centre of the city and Kings Park that is easily accessible by CAT bus.

Perth is a relatively small city and that is attractive in itself. The beaches and hills areas are easily accessible from the CBD either by public transport or car.

Personally I would never live anywhere else in the world.

"Wont be coming back."

I have travelled many places, my ist time here and stayed in a tourist park near Fremantle, I didnt feel very safe there. Perth itself is overpriced, and found customer service not very good.
People not the most welcoming, very sad for WA is very beautiful, but dont expect standards to be high.

"As we would"

As we would all already be aware of, CBD living could be expensive. It is accessible to work and that is the main factor that drives people here. It has also been newly-developed to have more amenities even after hours which further increases the prices around here.
