"Fantastic"
I agree with John. Beware The Nella." Use to be a fantastic suburb, but since the Nella Scorpions gang have virtually taken over the suburb, its a horrible place to live. Real Estate agents try and drum it up because once you buy in, you cant sell out!!! We have a few Crack dens in nearby streets, but the Riot Squad division of the Anti-Gang Response Task Force comes in every few weeks and sorts them out.
We are lucky we live in a cul-de-sac. Our street got together and installed large steel gates at our street entrance, and we now have an armed security guard who mans the gates from 6pm until 6am every night. We also have a small laneway that leads to a park where the kids use to play, but its just full of syringes now, so we closed off the laneway with razor wire and barbed wire.
We drive our kids to school each day in a suburb further away, buts its worth the extra hour each morning to avoid the kids being exposed to the junkies selling smack on the street corner.
Yes unfortunately, Dianella has changed a lot over the years...!!! And since you have read this far, let me just say it is a great place to live.
Who lives here?
- Professionals
- Singles
- Families with kids
- Retirees
Just for the record, I am a resident in Dianella and have been for the past 10 years, my whole family(28 people in total) live in Dianella and some have been here for nearly 30 years including mum and dad which live in Dianella. I work in North Perth and sell homes everywhere and not just in Dianella. My review was based purely on my personal day to day experiences of living and raising kids in the area I have choices of living elsewhere but have never considered moving, selling homes in the area allows me to get detailed and wide spread feed back about the area to people I sell too. To date all my clients have been happy and I have more people looking for homes in Dianella than properties available. I would consider mine an informed opinion, however it is my personal view, each person is entitled to their own, free to live where they choose.
To respond to "Mintox":
(1) Nothing in my review was made-up. Admittedly the suburb is quite a big one so obviously different residents will have different experiences, but I stand by my review. The crime rate has spiralled here in recent years. As a Dianella resident I wish it weren't so, but unfortunately it is.
(2) If you are so concerned with made up reviews, perhaps you should be singling out "JOEandKAREN" instead. Interesting that they rated Dianella 5 stars in every category, isn't it? However, simply googling for 'joe karen dianella' (without quotes) reveals that they are, in fact, real estate agents who sell houses in - that's right, you guessed it - Dianella. No conflict of interest there, of course.
(3) Ironically, your post actually helps to support my review! By calling me a "dic**ead" straight off the bat, it reveals just the type of person you are - and, dare I say, the typical Dianella resident. To others reading this, would you like to be neighbours with someone who screams "dic**ead" just because they have a different opinion to yours? This reveals another shortcoming of the suburb - the neighbours are about as friendly as Mintox.
