"The Lanterns - best street in Carine"
The Lanterns is a fabulous street to live in - it's a no-thru road / cul-de-sac - so absolutely no passing traffic only those who live here - fabulous location with it's own park for a handful of residents. Walking distance to Karrinyup golf course, carine open space, schools, the beach (20 mins).
Buses right by the door - easy freeway access, and very close to Karrinyup shops, North Beach and Carine and Marmion shops...

"A very green suburb with close amenities"
I love the small suburb of Carine, with it's abundance of parks, great amenities, including Carine Glades shopping centre, Karrinyup Shopping centre, Karrinyup golf course, Carine open space and it's features of barbeques, skate park, riding for the disabled, fitness stations etc etc. Where I live in The Lanterns, it is also a relatively easy walk to the ocean at around 20 mins and 10 mins to Carine Open Space - a very peaceful no thru road....
Great for

Having lived here for 13 years I guess I would be able to accurately comment on it - it is a beautiful quiet street and wonderfully private with its own park - I guess it's testament to the fact that most people that live here have been residents for as long as we have with very little movement....kids play outside their homes without fear of passing traffic etc
sorry forgot to add - you can always put my comments to the test and sit in your car here - no noise - maybe if the wind is blowing in the right direction and you're outside of your house you can here Marmion Ave - but i would guess that would be the same for a lot of homes in carine.
I am just researching the area as a potential buyer and as I said the houses next to Reid Hwy and the North Beach Rd turn me off because of the noise and 'The Lanterns' is right in between and next to the Reid Hwy. Marmion Ave on the other hand is further away. But Carine itself seems a lovely suburb. Just wondering if properties around the Swamp would have trouble with mosquitoes?
No worries that's your decision, though as a potential buyer always best to do as I suggest and go an sit in the street you are looking at to see whether it has noise - as carine is bordered by a lot of more major roads including the freeway so noise travels in different ways....I am being totally honest in my feedback re here as I mentioned we have been residents for around 13 years and so have most of our neighbours - our house doesn't back onto either the highway or north beach road, so we do hear anything - I am unsure of the homes that back onto the highway as to if they hear anthing from the back of their properties, but as I mentioned, if you were to spend time here, you would realise that my comments are true. Good luck in your search - it is a great suburb to live in - and a very big advantage of where we are is we don't have to go over the highway and save time in getting to work!!!
sorry that was meant to say we don't hear anything - tho may be different for others at the back of their homes...
Can not imagine The Lanterns to be a very peaceful road despite no thru road as it is right between the Reid Hwy and the North Beach Rd, both lots of traffic and very close by.
