Ballajura, WA 6066

Ballajura is quite a central location to live. 25 minutes to the city, 15-20 mins to the beach and 10-15 mins to Swan Valley. Pretty good public transport with a train station. Lots of parks too

Not a great suburb anymore. I live in ballajura for twenty years but recently crime rates are increasing with regular hoons driving up and down during busy/school hours (notably bellefin, giralia pkwy, meadow view, and others that i cant be bothered mentioning).

I have also confronted Swan City Council to help reduce bad behaving drivers. Council denies that there are problems based on outdated statistics that they are using (2016). When pressed further on, Council tells me that their focus is improving rural roads and not traffic calming. I guess they wont do anything until someone died.

I have lived in West County Ballajura for 23 years, Ballajura is mostly families, and is set up in different Estates so we have every one from first home buyers all the way to the Million $ properties in The Lakes. Suited to everyone we have restaurants and cafes, 5 great schools, 4 day cares, swimming pool, multiple doctors & dentists, library and 4 shopping centres, easy transport by bus with the train coming soon is a plus. We have a great atmospher here, I recomend Ballajura to anyone looking for a nice place to live.

I have lived in Ballajura with my family for a couple of years - didn't know much about it before we moved here, but it had some very nice affordable housing with decent gardens, and not crammed in like sardines like in the newer suburbs, so we instantly liked it.
Bought a house with a nice garden in a quiet cul de sac - kids are nice and safe, play with the neighbours across the street. Several good schools, mine go to Mary McKillop and they love it but Ballajura Primary School also has a good reputation.
WE are lucky to be very close to the local Woolworths , so grocerys are a breeze and there is also a really good Chinese vegi shop on Marshal Road.
So many activities for the kids - with Malaga being so close - ice skating/ roller skating/ trampolining. karate, swimming - ballajura also has its own local pool.
Lots of parks, and friendly neighbours.
Transport at the moment is not that great - just a few buses, but they are supposed to be building a train station in Malaga very soon, so that will be much improved.
If you want a nice affordable suburb with a decent sized house and garden, friendly neighbours and good family facilities, then Ballajura is a great place to look.

I have lived in Ballajura for the past 2 years. I live in a lovely cul de sac ( Ballajura is full of them ) so it is very quiet and safe for my kids. There is a great community feel - all the neighbours kids play in the street, and the neighbours are a friendly bunch.
Location wise its close to Alexander drive, so easy access to the city and Hepburn Ave also provides direct access to Hilarys in 30 mins.
There is a local Woolies and IGA so for groceries its fine and Morley Galleria is only 10 mins drive away.
Schools are very good - there is Mary McKillop Primary which is great, and also Ballajura Primary School - one of the top rated schools in WA.
I ddn't know much about the area when I moved here, but we do love it - plenty of parks around and a great family atmosphere.

I have rented in Ballajura for 8 years now and whilst the suburb itself does not have many shopping options it's proximity to Morley, Malaga and Swan Valley make it an ideal choice and very central to lots of shopping and entertainment options. Having the national park behind us means that we will not get smashed by continual housing developments and the freeway upgrades will mean it is the direct interchange between Tonkin, Hepburn and Reid highways. The upgrades will also reduce traffic on beach/marshall road providing additional benefits.

The suburb is quiet with a diverse and friendly population. I have lived all over Australia and to date this is the longest I have remained at a rental property... A+++

We have lived in North Ballajura for 30 years watched it grow from a few houses to a small town in it's own right. we are so close to everything the beach 10mins along Hepburn and in the opposite direction Swan Valley, Whiteman Park, and 15 mins to the city. great schools great medical facilities. very friendly people.

We moved in roughly 6 months ago now... At first I thought it was a nice sleepy suburb out of the way but now I realise it's more than that..... A few things

* Close to Wildlife parks, swan valley and several shopping districts...
* Train Line is meant to be coming to the area in a year or two (In Malaga next to Ballajura)
* Good public transport and services...

I am very happy with the area

We are from overseas and really like this suburb. The people are friendly and it has the great australian atmosphere about it. No troubles here
