"Fantastic location - shame about the neighbours!"
The location was great for getting to the freeway, going into Fremantle and just across from Garden City for shopping......but the suburb is full of housing commission owned properties, which completely devalues the suburb.
Some streets are better than others, and the old 'Campbell Estate' part is far nicer than the A,B,C,D blocks etc.
When our family bough into Willagee, the promise was from the government that 'Homes West' would be situating elderly people into the area as opposed to younger families. This wasn't the case, with some seriously disturbed young people residing here.
You would not let your children play in the streets, or want them going to school on their own.
Better suited to couples wanting to start out and move on when they start a family.

Sadly I have to agree with you Dennis. Such a fabulous location, awesome potential. Very saddened you have to feel so unsafe in the meantime. Security is a must in Willagee and the ability to pay for private school fees (which kind of defeats the purpose of affordable housing).

Here you go. By the sounds of this the department doesn't take a lot of care in concerning itself with the antisocial behaviour of its tenants nor the impact the housing has on the community around it.
Totally agree with Accor. Been there nearly a decade and waited and waited for reduced homeswest or at least more older folk. Hasn't happened and when we enquire find out they are trying to build higher density homeswest . Willagee has second highest homeswest in WA (0.3% behind Karawarra; 24.4%) and it doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon. Thanks govt. for your lies. Having said that, near Leach hwy is pretty good and in Campbell estate. Anywhere else is a joke. Wouldn't let my kids go out alone and certainly won't be sending them to the local primary. A teacher friend there says she finds it difficult to teach the kids who want to learn as she spends all her time disciplining the others. That's why house prices almost half of those in the neighbouring suburbs and can't see it changing anytime soon. Difficult to have suburb renewal when a quarter of it is owned by the govt who want to deposit the dregs there (that's not a comment on all homeswest folk, just some very nasty ones).
