"Lovely Suburb near River - great family area"
We lived in Shelley for two years (while building elsewhere) and it was a great place to live. A nice stroll to the river foreshore for fish and chips is fantasic on a balmy summers evening and something we really miss, plus being able to go for a walk/jog along the river front is great. Friendly neighbourhood, local kids footy and netball clubs, couple of small but good shopping complexes in the area (Shelley Hub and Rossmoyne) which have all you need Chinese, Thai, pizza, Fish and Chips, coffeeshop/restaurant, liquor stores, Super IGA all available, pizza. Lots of families- good primary schools and top High School in Rossmoyne. Only slight downfall is it is does take a while on a bus if you are catching it to Perth or you have to park and ride to Murdoch for train.
So great spot but comes with a price tag to match - although prices have stablised in more recent times.

"Perths best kept secret!!!"
There are heaps of trees,birds and not much noise. The local shops are great and include newsagent,butcher,chemist,hairdresser ,2 restuarants and IGA[ and of course bottle shop. The blocks are big so privacy is not an issue. There is no through traffic so the roads are quiet and safe for the kids. River is lovely so getting exercise is not an issue. All over great place to live. Most people that live here will never shift away!!!!

The local noise action group, led by Dr Johan Rosman, has been very succesful and by mid 2015 the noise will be reduced to a level that is not different from other Shelley suburb.
Living in the hidden gem Shelley myself, I notice now alreadyn(March2015) an enormous improvement that gave me my sleep back.
