I have recently purchased a house in calista and was a little bored when I first moved in.. but as time has passed I have found more and more to do.. the gyms great and all the emergency/sport people use it (so the view is always good)
The spirit here is great.. I always go to the shops to look on the local board at the amount of volenteer spots available. there is every service number on those boards you can think off..never had to stress about parking.. spots every where.. the trains are brilliant... the buses are not so good late at night but most places are close to the trains anyway and they are good during the day.
the new tavern looks like it will be brilliant when its finished (yeay)
all the place needs now is that cafe strip that is on its way.. (and I cannot wait).. since moving into the area.. (and yes i do work my ass off) but I have made more progress here then my entire 36 years alive. if you put the effort in. you can really get ahead living here.

There are about 100 schools in the immediate area...most of them you can walk to but there are school buses buses trains cars and every thing else but planes lots of churches just in case you need them and the shops have every food group you can think off.. and late night shopping once a week.

The only thing I would personnally like to see is a cimema.. and weekend trading but thats cause i'm from sydney and I was spoilt!
There isn't a nightlife.. but if your looking for that.. there are other areas for it. apart from that... good to go :)
oh ps.. its cheap for food two.. I was surviving on bare minimum shopping which was good for me as all my money was going back into the house...and I was on my own.. there are plenty of options If you want to be a bit silly. the pizza place in kwinana hub.. up the hill across from blockbuster.. seriously does the best chicken sweet potato and pine nut pizza ever'

if you say this was recomended on a web site.. he will know who recomendeed it. I got it all the time.. ask for double of everything... so worth it (about 20-25 bucks) also the charity shop are there as well as a few others.. so check it out.. see what you think now that they have spend AND I SAY THIS LOUD! 1.5 BILLION (not million) on the immediate area.
house prices will be going up soon.
oh and there are retiree facilaties too.. its quite good from what I hear. and the automotive tafe is right on the door step - its massive.
