Shoalwater, WA 6169

Moved here from North of the river...
Absolutely no regrets .It has a great neighbourhood community and is walking distance to a different choice of beaches .Has great local shops with places to eat and drink .beautiful location.I could not think of anywhere else I would rather live..and.. im not an estate agent !

I lived in Shoalwater for a few years & can say that I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. On the ocean side of Safety Bay Rd you'll find quiet streets, nicely manicured gardens & some truly magnificent homes. Strolling along the foreshore in summer is absolutely beautiful, people are friendly & the views, well they are definitely something to write home about! Dotted amongst the area are great places to eat & shop too. Area Specialist Michelle Turner Property Manager Raine&Horne Rockingham Beach

Friendly atmosphere, pub, parks, cafe, local shops and schools, the beach and islands, great weather, awesome fishing and water sports THERE IS NOTHIONG NOT TO LOVE!!!!

Having just moved into the area, I fell in love, Lake Richmond, is great for walking or riding around. Perfect area with a wide range of house styles including 2 storey properties overlooking the lake to units. Close enough to ride or walk to the beach.

Honestly I think this suburb is overrated. It's still in the City of Rockingham which means you still get the 'not so nice' people and hoons driving around. I know this as I've been abused in Rockingham a few times before for no reason!

Suburb has soul and character.
Short walk to the beach,shops etc
Friendly neighborhood where people have time for a chat .
House prices very reasonable for such an amazing location.
Wish we had moved here sooner...!

Pros: Walking distance to incredible scenic beaches. To top it off, a freshwater Lake Richmond to walk or ride around. Pelicans fly overhead from the sea.
Nice & quiet to live here. Shops close by.
Only cons: are that Lake Richmond needs a better path & cycle way around it. The whole Lake is not fenced in properly from the road, which makes it look run down and shabby.
Neighbours great too.
Shhh don't tell anyone. Keep the masses away!

Shoalwater is a well kept scret we know it as the golden triangle perectly located near pengion island. its beautiful beaches are its biggest attraction. There a great little supermarket with an IGA, a great fish and chip shop and a well priced bottle shop. If you fancy getting out on th water there are plenty of boat ramps with plenty of parking and you can grab a bite to eat from some great little shops just across the road. The ocean is an amazing playground and if you are adventurous you can head out to seal island and check out the amazing seals sunning themselves or playing in the water. Becareful navigating the waters between penguin island and seal island in a kayak or canaoe though there can be some strong tides that will try and oull you out to sea.

A great spot for the family and you can still pick up some great buys in shoalwater old and new areas offer so many choices of housing if you wnat any information or are considering relocating to Shoalwater feel free to call me Martina Berry Director Professionals Rockingham 0432367281 or [email protected]

While I still prefer Waikiki over Shoalwater, I would have to say that the rating Shoalwater has at the time I'm writing this review seems to be a bit low. For my research, and local knowledge, the schools and child care in the area is lacking for results and quality. However, you do have all the beaches and nature a person living in the suburbs could ever want. Further on the downside, the diverse nature of the housing is off putting to my family. I prefer an area where everyone is in a simular size and style of property.

Lived here for 15 years now, and for me it has everything I want. Friendly neighbours that look after your interest, relaxing feel, nature reserve and pristine beaches around the corner. Cooler than surrounding areas in summer, warmer in winter. Loooving it.

We moved to Shoalwater just over a year ago. We love the 'feel' this place has. The original part of Shoalwater still has a holiday town feel to it with the big trees, big blocks and some original shacks still remaining. In contrast there are also some gorgeous big houses that have been built with spawling balconys and beautiful finishes. Like anywhere it can have problems, our friend's house got broken into not long after they moved in, but I would like to think this was an isolated case. We have always felt very safe. We love the area; the beaches are beautiful and not packed, it is quiet and you feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
