Reviews of Carramar, WA
"Carramar"
I bought here and definitely don’t regret it. This is not a ‘bogan’ area but it’s lovely, peaceful and quiet. It might be a bit pricier than its neighbour (BG) but it’s far better to invest in a good suburb like Carramar or Talping.

"Wonderful community feell"
We are a couple in our late 20s and early 30s who have just bought and moved into Carramar. We absolutely love it. The community spirit is incredible, with neighbours coming up to introduce themselves and say hello, kids playing on the street, the area is whisper quiet with lots of long term residents. We were looking for a long time in many areas before we decided on Carramar. Aside from its proximity to the beach, nature and schools, we were surprised how many amenities there are in the area within a 10min drive! Several pubs and take away joints, 4 supermarkets including the ones in Banksia Grove, Drovers market and Wanneroo shops and Lakeside Joondalup is also round the corner. Transport is great, there's a bus that goes to Joondalup where you can get on the train to the city. All the houses in Carramar are really well kept and maintained, new looking with beautiful gardens. Best decision we could have ever made. We love it here!

"A lovely place to live"
Carramar is a lovely place to live and bring up a family, the houses are new and well kept and generally the owners take a pride in their gardens and presentation of their homes. There are exceptions but these are fairly rare. While heavy work is being done in Pinjar Rd and Joondalup Drive there is a bit of noise and dust during the day but once these upgrades are finished the result will have been worth it.
There are many well kept parks dotted around the suburb and the pavements and cycle paths are reasonably well maintained. Security is always important and statistics suggest Carramar is one of the safer suburbs around although from time to time the number of incidents does spike, generally speaking these are not the norm.
Shopping is basic, in the local centre there is a good Woolies and a number of takeaway outlets as well as a pharmacy, Gym and a medical centre, the biggest problem is that all but the Gym and takeaways are closed on Sundays, however Lakeside at Joondalup is open 7 days a week and is only 10 minutes away.
The area is also blessed with a number of good schools in the area, most within walking distance wherever you may live in Carramar.
Great for
- Basic amenities

No high school yet in Carramar but the Carramar Primary School seems to have a good reputation. St Stephens in neighbouring Tapping is very well respected and Banksia Grove, next door is planning both high and primary schools on the border of Carramar and Banksia Grove. I would not recommend the schools presently operating in Banksia Grove. Dont confuse the new part of Banksia Grove with the older part with a dodgy reputation, they are very different.
"Great Place To Live & Work"
Having lived in Carramar for 5 years I have seen our good community evolve into a great community within a thriving suburb.With excellent shopping facilities, public and private schools, well maintained parks and the golf course make this a fantastric place to live and raise a family.
Having also worked in Carramar for many years it is safe area in which you can walk and cycle around at anytime without any hassles.Its facilities include a 24hr gym, take away food, woolthworths supermarket and many other specialty stores and a cafe. The community take pride in maintaining their homes and gardens which also makes it a well presented area. The traffic can get a bit busy at time on Cheriton near the shops on Joondalup drive but they are installing a duel carriage way at present which should help this issue. A restraurant and a petrol station is all that is missing at the moment and hopefully we may get these in the immediate area with the new shops to be built only moments away in Banksia Grove. There is plenty of public transport and Carramar is located only 8 monutes or so to Joondalup shops and the freeway entry. With friendly neighbors and locals it is the perfect place to live !
