Kelso

"Worst place I have lived"

I think a lot of the reviews on here about Kelso are incredibly misleading. I lived in Kelso for 2.5 years and have just moved because I couldn't take it! Riverway Drive is an incredibly dangerous road with lunatic drivers who have 'I have to be in front of you' syndrome. The blocks in the new housing estates are tiny. There is no privacy. Our neighbours were incredibly rude and inconsiderate. All had dogs who barked non stop all day. Our complaints went unheard and when we invested a couple of hundred dollars in an anti-barking device. One of our neighbours stole the device and then moved. These are all neighbours who are older then my husband and I. We are in our twenties, our neighbours were 30 and up. You would think being older they would know how to live respectfully with your neighbours in a suburban area. I have lived in Sydney and Canberra and have never had such bad experiences with neighbours. Crime was also bad. I had several visits from Police to my front door to alert me to 'goings on' in the neighbourhood the previous night. For example, break and enters, home invasions, car stolen and pet theft. I myself also had several experiences with vicious unrestrained dogs. So much so that we stopped working our dog in Kelso and we joined a gym to get exercise because we did not feel safe. Thankfully we have a wolfhound, who doesn't mind not getting walked everyday. I also find the description of 15 mins from the CBD a complete lie. Peak hour traffic took me 25 - 30 mins to get to work and I am still 15 mins out of the CBD.
