Reviews of Spearwood, WA
"Hoon suburb"
It is hard to believe that is ranked one good suburbs to live. We have been renting in two different areas of Spearwood and we always have to cope with some very aggressive and abusive behaviour from drunk or under drugs neighbours! Gerald street and Melun street are full of units with crazy, loud and violent people! We have to call police every weekend and we have small children! If you are looking for a nice place to stay forget about it
"Friendly, welcoming and quiet neighbourhood"
After moving here from Mosman Park we were slightly concerned about the neighbourhood but it turned out to be the complete opposite. People were very welcoming and actually talk to each not just say hello. I love the vicinity to Manning Park and Coggee Beach and Freo. I reckon it’s still very affordable for the good location.

We are in Newton Street and so far it has been great for us. No encounters with drunks or drug addicts. I cant speak of other areas though. I still find its a nice suburb considering its good location and the affordability.

"Quiet Friendly Neighbourhood"
This is one of the friendliest neighborhoods I have lived in. It is a great place to bring up children and an evening walk with the dog will always create opportunities for a chat with the neighbours along the way.
The schools have created long term friendships for the kids and it is so easy to access both Perth and Fremantle with the sea breeze always reliable and early to cool things down. A great place to live.
