HANNANS used to be the money zone, though a lot of homeswest houses have been allocated in recent years so take the time to drive around the block.
LAMINGTON north from Varden street and keeping to the east you are guaranteed peace and quiet. then it depends on the street and how many homeswest have been allocated note lots closest to west lamington
CENTRAL KAL: varying community, busy commercial zone and mostly singles and homeswest with a scattering of descent ppl. south of hannan st is better
PICADILLY yep the size of the blocks are larger therefore more affluent, some smaller with private estates
SOUTH KALGOORLIE/ ADELINE/ GOLDEN GROVE call it what u want the neighbourhood is still the same. a scattering of hard working families and a truckload of troublemakers. good luck if u manage to never have a problem...ever
BOULDER theres a good strip between lionel st and federal rd/ boulder rd... but check as sm streets do have units in a small section
SOUTH BOULDER this area is hard to define; low numbers piesse to forrest are not friendly but low numbers king and dwyer are. then hopkins and vivian are a bit less desirable. higher numbers and mid numbers depend on street, most of dwyer is good.
SOMERVILLE< BROADWOOD you can tell by the price this area is quiet
O'CONNOR there are many scatterings of homeswest so as much as the homes seem reasonably new and neat- check the neighbourhood. Prices in Mosconi etc show how nice these streets are

this area gets a bad rep due to the overall stigma of unemployment in kwinana council area. living there isnt so bad as there are many people of different economic backgrounds. some ppl believe rockingham or safetybay/ secret harbour are better but the same issues arrise there- drugs, school violence and the like. generally for the lower cost of buying or renting the bus service is fantastic and the train is nearby too. as is the freeway so everything is handy to get to- work or schools or even shopping. what kwinana doesn't have, will be easy to get to via car , bus or train. even the beach is 10 min drive away. fremantle and Rockingham are also close.

as with most strrets it is dependant on which part you live on. in coolgardie there are a few problem pockets based on neighbouring residents, low numbers of sylvester are a problem, higher numbers are peaceful. go close to lyon st for best peaceful living. coolgardie has excellent policing, great recreation centre and restaurants at roadhouses, motel and hotel. employment is mostly local mining and kalgoorlie is only 1/2 hour drive away for many many job opportunities, shopping and nightlife. there is a community bus for set days and set time shopping trips, school bus to kalgoorlie ( there is a primary school and a private residential aboriginal christian school in coolgardie-6 primary schools in kal. and 3 private primary, plus 1 public high and 2 private high. also curtin uni and School of mines. major retailers in kal include target, coles, woolies, IGA, betts, katies, rivers, sjussans,millers,just jeans,jeanswest,jjs, cotton on, supre, 2 surf stores more more more. 32 licenced liquor venues and many sporting venues all in kalgoorlie.
