Reviews of Cooloongup, WA
"More than what you pay for!"
Few minutes drive to some of the best beachs in the meteo area at only a fraction of the cost. Generally neat and tidy streets. Gentrifying year on year
"An emerging gem"
Cooloongup is a great alternative to surrounding suburbs in terms of value for money - I don't think it's going to last though, as people are cottoning on (and pesky east coast investors are driving the values up). I am seeing the demographics of the area changing, as what were some rough pockets are gentrifying due to the influx of money coming into the area.
Sometimes I think it is unbelievable that you can get still get a family home that is 5 minutes away from beautiful beaches and transport for such a low price... in Australia!
With the amount of government infrastructure and big companies pouring into the Rockingham region, it is going to be great opportunities for people to have a good job and live a good life with everything you need at your fingertips.

"Value for Money both Renting and Buying"
When Rockingham is just little out of your price range, Cooloongup is right next door. It shares the same facilities, but does have the Rockingham General Hospital located in the suburb. A great IGA Supermarket and the Rockingham Train Station with connecting buses on your doorstep. For those looking for value you can't go past Cooloongup

"Cooloongup"
Cooloongup has some very affordable properties if you are looking to get into the market its a great place to start but be sure to do drive bys before you buy and make suer you are choosing the right street for you. The Woodbridge estate has some great streets and some really nice properties, but there are other parts of cooloongup with really old 3 x 1's that seem to attract the wrong crowd.
It is close to the hosiptal and the Golf course and close to public transport etc, not too far from the beach. The IGA shopping centre is huge and always well stocked and the staff are really friendly.
It probably wouldnt be my first choice of suburbs but there are people that love it. You can definitely pick up some great priced house in Coolongup

In my experience, the area is rapidly gentrifying. The influx of government infrastructure is a real positive for the region. There were some parts with undesirables in the old 3x1, but they are getting priced out with the rents going through the roof.
I think that's a fair assessment. However the undesirables seem to have been priced out, with the recent skyrocketing in rents.
