Reviews of Southern River, WA
"Family friendly & good sized blocks"
Pros
- Bletchley Park and older sections of the suburb have generous sized blocks which are less common in suburbs similar ages
- Beautifully styled parks, playgrounds and lakes for the family to enjoy
- quiet streets within the suburbs
- multicultural neighbourhood
- popular primary schools and abundance of day care centres
- Timber and Tribeca Cafes offer great quality coffee and food
- Surrounded by local shopping centres and new Southern river shops
- Mansion style properties and large land positively affect median sale value
Cons
- some of the newer estate south of southern river road are much smaller
blocks, less established currently but zoned within the same suburb, possibly lowering overall property value in future
- about 1/4 of properties don’t upkeep their gardens and are overgrown with dried weeds & lots of rubbish floating around (possibly due to the nearby developments)
- council aren’t proactive in upkeep (but do respond relatively quickly to Snap Send Solve reports)
- not a lot of “foodie” restaurant choices in the area

"Great place to start a family"
This suburb is very family friendly. Homes are on large blocks & kids love running around in the open spaces and parks and there is a real sense of community.

"Friendly and Beautiful Neighbourhood."
Live in Bletchley Park and it is an absolutely beautiful place to live. Friendly neighbours, walking trails, lots of nature and fresh air to get you away from the bustle of the city. Homes are of high quality and there are plenty of quality schools around and coming up soon, as well as shops and other amenities.

"Come home to all this - and relax!"
Beautiful parklands and friendly neighbours. Easy access to shops, petrol stations, gyms, schools, cafes and local restaurants. Enjoy a picnic or BBQ at the park - with use of the free BBQ area. Take a stroll or a jog along the well designed pathways throughout the park. The kids will love the playground and the seating is ideal to take a book to read while the children burn up some energy. There are ducks, frogs and native birds to see and hear, all adding to the appeal of this area.
