Good affordable place, close to IGAs, Coles, pharmacy and other commercial centres. Good public transport, especally around the main roads (Winterfold, Waverly, Coolbellup Ave, Cordelia etc). Ideal for Murdoch students (5min by car, 20min by bus). However we have been broken into 3 times in 2 years. Kids, opportunistic walk-ins, forcing window etc... No major losses but still very scary. It appears to be very opportunistic, so burglar bars/security screens are a necessity. If you can, pick a quiet cul-de-sac as opposed to the major streets surrounding the shops. Big dogs and several housemates/family members with varying timetables (so the house is seldom empty) would definitely be a plus.
