Armadale, WA 6112

Lived here since October 2024. Generally very quiet with occasional motorbike hooning. Surrounded by retirees, young families, some professionals, fair amount people in the area are on lower income, social security/ centrelink. There was random person walking around 4am or nicked a neighbours statue out the front of her house. Some groups of kids occassionally wandering on or near streets. Frequent patrolling of streets by police keeps the area safe. Crime stats indicate decreasing crime since 2017

I lived in Sydney I can’t buy a house, I bought a house in Armadale and this is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I moved to Armadale 2 years ago, I am working in Perth CBD.
Before moving to Armadale, I read lots of negative comments about the suburb, I felt really scared and didn’t want to live in the area. However, Armadale is much better than I thought, we have a good community here and there are lots of shops, schools, medical,… it’s really convenient, I takes 30 minutes to drive to airport and 40 minutes to CBD.
The house prices in Armadale actually reflects that, it increases significantly by 78% in 12 months, that’s amazing!
I lived in NZ before moving to WA, I rented an apartment in North Shore Auckland, it’s really expensive and old. It’s considered as a good suburb in Auckland but it is actually worse than Armadale WA, crime rate is high, people don’t have money because they pay most of their income for mortgage, houses prices are super high like 1.5 million nzd. Small business owners are struggling, homelessness is a big problem,…
I can tell you Armadale is much better and houses are still much much cheaper and better quality than houses in Auckland NZ. Armadale is a great place for young people, families and also safe for kids and women.

Everything comes to an end eventually and looks Armadales reputation is on a Change for the better. Many new families are flooding inn. 1st home buyers, people wanting the larger blocks to add sheds on etc, and a backyard for the children seens to be one of the attractions. Also the older homes are more solid and just need love and sometimes an extension to be perfect, unlike cheap new builds these days. Its locations to city airports have also made it desirable!! new public transport and the mass changes for the better that’s happening. Kelmscott is the next suburb and is also on change rapidly. The townships both are just craving new businesses to facilitate the growing areas. Worth a look for living and business starting and growing

I have lived and worked in Armadale for 44 years (yep born and bred) and have watched the city go from strength to strength with millions of dollars being spent on upgrading transport networks, shopping precincts, recreation and more.

The area is well located only 28kms from Perth, surrounded by the beautiful hills and is expanding East at a rapid rate making it one of the biggest Cites in Perth.

We have 2 major shopping centres, loads of parks, sporting clubs and a huge range of public and private schools.

Sure, it gets a bad wrap from the media because anything bad that happens in surrounding suburbs gets reported as the offender appeared in “Armadale Court” or if it happened on the trainline its “the Armadale Train line” when in fact it wasn’t in Armadale at all. I’m not saying Armadale is perfect as there are a few pockets that may be less than desirable and yes like many other suburbs we do have some crime, but its rapidly changing for the better.

Have a chat with the vast majority of locals that have lived here for years and we love it!

I had to evacuate my daughter late at night, from a house we purchased for her, due to constant foul mouth abuse and threats from her neighbour. The police were like ‘we can’t do anything without proof’. I would not recommend anyone to live in Armadale. Constant verbal arguments heard from down the street, police sirens, unsafe for single females. My daughter installed security screens, then security cameras, and was still terrified of the verbal abuse from her neighbours. I recommend paying mor

Armadale is a great historic suburb with lots to offer. The shopping centres have just about everything you need. There are always improvements being made. The new Aquatic centre is amazing, you have the champion lakes regatta, 26 primary schools, 12 secondary schools and 3 libraries in the City of Armadale. There are so many lovely older homes with many fruit trees, new builds in newer development areas just 5 minutes from the City Centre. Cheap and affordable living.

I have live here 20 years this time around, having lived south of Sydney, and in Melbourne. The council is very progressive, and much has been done in recent years to improve the area, with lots of improved playgrounds, pavements, trees etc. I live in a small cul de sac, and it is quite normal. House prices are very low at the moment, so it would be great value, but just interview neighbours in any street before buying. You can pick up houses under $250K, and be close to schools, trains and buses.
