What kind of crimes? May I ask what street you happened to be on? Am thinking of buying my first home in this area.

I Had my car broken into on the verge as well & had to get my Suzuki towed away to get repaired $1000 damage. Police wouldn't come out because I had to find fingerprints first (pathetic). Door key lock damaged & car sitting in driveway rear panel window broken to friends car on the property over the years as well.
Lots of units are being built now. The old 1950's homes are not worth restoring with land being so expensive here now. I live in a 50's house in a fairly quite street off the main perimeter. More families are moving in with screaming children/units
are being built & ruining this once quiet, suburb.

Noisy? Where you live on Charles Street. It is quiet where. Live I can hear planes landing at night. Car breaks, get a security system to your house and park in your drive. I have 4 outdoor sensors, 8 inside and 5 HD cameras place to cover all of my roperty. Neve live in a house without a top range security system. I could never live without it.
Joondanna is the best located suburb and dont want families with their bloody kids and always a stupid happy dog. The suburbs is where you belong.
I live in a renovated 50s house and enjoy 7 garden security walls, polished bounds, open fireplace, meter2 wood stove, double solid brick walls with 9 .5 ceilings. Would never lve anywhere else.
