"Another overrated suburb that should not be on the top suburb list"
Another overrated suburb that should not be on the top suburb list, the location itself should be enough to be in the bottom 100, there is issues with no underground power making suburb even uglier than what it is with over head power lines, no nerby shops, and issues with traffic.
At night it s really dark on the street and the council light are limited in most of the area.We also saw a rotten mattress on the roadside and some wrecked unwanted chairs and furniture dump there at the Collins Roads.People throw rubbish and gabage everywhere.Such a shame.
Been living here for 4 years. Awesome community suburb for families. Well maintained parks and people always out and about playing sports or activities with the kids. Not the most exciting for single or people who like to party alot, but got everything we need without big crowds. Driving to anywhere in Perth is fairly easy with access to leach Hwy, Roe Hwy, South Street, Freeway. Generally, really well maintained gardens which adds to the homeliness of the area. In terms of the comment above saying rubbish everywhere, was probably verge rubbish collection week. So happy, proud and privileged to live here.
"Good for students attending nearby university"
Good for students attending nearby university, other than that it is just your standard suburb nothing special, most properties here are all outdated 80s style which are plain ugly in my opinion.
Not great for
- Dated 1980's bungalows mostly in need of renovation
- Poor garden maintenance
- Poorly maintained rental properties detract from the overall appeal
Agree about housing being very ugly, but that's a problem with Perth (and might I say Australia) in general! Aussie builders are STILL stuck in a 1990's rut and a couple of decades behind the rest of the world, where $400-500k will buy an architect designed McMansion rather than a square box with a few holes in it! Seems at odds with other opinions tho':)
Emma is dead right, Winthrop is a uni suburb now, it's now just North Murdoch

What are you talking about? Location: close to freeway, 20 minutes to the city, 15 minutes to Fremantle, one of the top state highschool in WA, 15 minutes to Curtin Uni, 5 minutes to Murdoch Uni and hospital. Plenty of local jobs too. What traffic? Southlands is local, and enough for your everyday needs. Carousel and Garden City are also close by. Whereas Quinns Rocks... hmm let's see, maybe if you're retired and don't need to go to work, since it's in woop woop?
