Wellington Street

"horrible crime area"

my motorbike was stolen from here. i visited a friend on fairlight street and had it hidden out of sight. but they came and took it while we were there.

another person on the same street had their scooter stolen

i have so many friends living in mosman park who are or have moved because of the unbelievable high crime

i have cancer and my bike was my good thing after going through so much

and they just took it away

don't buy here

seriously overpriced and a crime rate higher than armadale

All expensive suburbs have high crime rates - put simply, there's more to steal!

Cottesloe

"Overrated"

The local residents are a mixture of very cool nice people who have been living there for decades, like me, and the rich snobby people who really don't care about anyone else and have blower vacs, lawn mowers, whipper snippers out in the early morning, all day actually, at least once a week. Some (a few) have very loud parties. So check your possible neighbours out. The bigger the mansion usually the less friendly the neighbour / the older the house the nicer and less noisy the neighbour.

Next to mosman park, home of the heroin addicts due to the mandatory homeswest housing, unfortunately because some nice people pay a lot of money to buy houses there. mosman park druggies roam cottesloe streets at night "car popping" - checking to see if your car is unlocked, and young males are frequently seen ripping out street signs and heard yelling and vandalizing. not to mention the pubs, avoid living near them at all costs.

The safest part of cott is probably the side between the railway and and stirling highway. Heres hoping that oneday the railway will go underground.

The beach tends to be pretty safe at night, and it is nice and well lit up. But I do walk with a large dog. Avoid the bushes at the dip before the lookout at all costs at night. it is know for mugging.

The primary school is great. The busses (99, 103, 107) go straight to uwa and QE2, but they don't always turn up and there is always a botttle neck at around 8 am and 4pm due to the silly rich people in 4wd taking their kids to the private schools. There is no parking at uwa if you live in cottesloe. Free parking if you have a motorbike though, and the backstreets make it quick and easy to get to the city, uwa and QE2.

Farmer Jacks in claremont is great. Woolworths, the post office etc are close by.

there is a serious rat prioblem because of the seeds dropped by the pine trees. and a roach problem because people water in the heat of summer. In summer there is no parking, even if you live there !

Some dogs attack, but the rangers do nothing.

Your review is very thorough, I am impressed. I'm glad that you were honest about the problems with the druggies and the neighbours having loud parties. Most people write a glowing review of their area and it is not helpful to people who are genuinely thinking of buying there.
