I have lived in Winthrop since 2013 and my family has been living here since the 80s. All I can say is Winthrop is one of the nicest suburbs. It is close to many high standard schools, including Winthrop Primary School which has the best teachers you could ever meet. I attended WPS for only 4 years but they were the best years of my life. Everyone is extremely smart and fun to be around and there are barely any dodgy people, mainly only the kids who went JCCA or MSHS for high school. Winthrop is an extremely academic school with loving people and great programs (sport, languages, drama etc. It has excellent catchment public high schools including Applecross SHS , Melville Senior High School and Rossmoyne SHS. WPS has lovely amenities as well and prides itself with its students.

The suburb itself is delightful, with many parks and families. There are many lovely parks inluding Piney Lakes Reserve, Robert Smith Park, Hill Park, Somerville Park and Winthrop Park/Oval which is an oval where soccer, cricket and football is played all the time. Winthrop IGA is a small shopping centre with many food shops including a chemist, Brumby's, Jesters and a cafe. If IGA is not suitable for your needs, Garden City Shopping Centre is located 5 minutes away. The people in Winthrop are very friendly and kind and there are no dodgy areas. I have not been robbed ever whilst living here (touch wood) and I have not heard much about unsociable behaviour in Winthrop. The houses are slightly outdated and on the pricier end but with a quick renovation they will be good as new. I would 10/10 recommend Winthrop and there are 3 families from my extended family living here.
