Having lived in Thornlie for over 10 years, the changes have been pretty good. Great cycling lanes from Thornlie to the CBD along the Canning River, large blocks and you are close enough to so many amenities in Cannington, Canning Vale and Forrest Lakes. Lots of open spaces and parks and only 20 mins into the CBD by car. The Thornlie Train Station is good and a lot safer than Kenwick at night, though as with most public transport in Perth - they could increase the frequency of services. A taxi from Northbridge to Thornlie cost between $40 - $50 dollars.

People say "hello" and "good morning" to you and there is a good mix of age ranges around. You also need to make an effort too, but where I am there is a good sense of community.

There are dodgy people in every area, and Thornlie is no different. I have never been broken into, but know people who have. I still feel safe in Thornlie, but there are parts (like anywhere) where people don't look after their properties or each other.

There is no night life in Thornlie, but you aren't that far from the CBD that it is a problem.

All in all a great place to live.
