Innaloo

"taking the good with the bad"

have lived in Innaloo for 7 years now, with my husband. We have recently had a daughter and need to move out to somewhere bigger for growing family and 2 dogs....this is what Innaloo struggles to offer. Unless you have a lot of money, all the big, old blocks sell for a premium as they can be all subdivided.
There is a lot of high density living, and if a backyard is what you'd like then forget about Innaloo.
What the suburb has to offer.....close to everything you could want.....shopping centres, parks, beach, restaurants/take away, pubs, industrial area (Osborne Park), primary schools, medical facilities, easy transport. Aside from your work, you'd barely ever need to travel more than 3 or 5km.
Now some more of the bad....there are a mixture of people in the area. Some good, some not so good. Pick your street wisely, as there definitely some "a bit more dodgy" ones. Our area went through a stage where there were a few break-ins. We had 3 attempted, but luckily we have good security so they couldn't get in, but some damage was done.
Stirling council is not the best to deal with. I believe Stirling is too big council zone, and as such, residents get "lost in the system" when it comes to getting things sorted sometimes.
I have liked living here, but now, with a real family, I want to move on.
