"A dangerous place, don't go there!"
I was living in shared accommodation, and one of the guys I was living with was a drug user. This guy started coming after him and breaking in to our house, I had to grab whatever I could and make a run for it to a town 4 hours south before he came back with muscle. Luckily, I found a new place to live fairly quickly. If you value your life, don't go to Ashmore!
I agree clairer3. Ashmore is great! It's leafy, plenty of parks and waterfront park bbq's, dog areas and children's swings/playgrounds, bus routes. The shopping centres are smaller, localised and friendly with many artisan producers of fine foods and products, restaurants, bakeries, fruit shops and several banks and other services and conveniences. There are plenty of quality schools, the neighbors are friendly and supportive and when I did a doorknock of about 60 streets selling tickets for a cause, only ONE person was rude and about three people said no. That's about 700 people who said yes and were obliging, interested. I am convinced Ashmore people are wonderful. They are unpretentious, hardworking and social. That's Ashmore!
I'm so sorry this happened to you! Let's hope you are safe now. It seems to me that this isn't the fault with the suburb though, and maybe your review should be removed? This seems like more of a personal problem to me. A drug user you say? How unfortunate for all involved. Thanks for sharing. Ashmore is a great suburb, next time please just phone the police.
If you guys want a gleaming review of Ashmore, there are plenty of other ones on here. I will admit, there were some genuinely nice people there, but it's hard to focus on the pros when the cons are getting kneecapped. It was never my choice to live with those people in the first place, if I got to choose my roommates I DEFINITELY would've gone with someone else. I went to police, who basically said they couldn't do anything until the guy attacked me.
Not exactly a reflection of the whole suburb, but something I experienced that people should know could happen before moving here.
culumm, is the suburb full of junkie bogans or is this one incident unique to you?
good to see all comments with negative and positives
That's a ridiculous review. It's a version of an incident that occurred involving yourself and no reflection of the suburb whatsoever. It's more of an indication of your inability to discern a decent roommate living situation. You should remove your post. Ashmore is a good spot, local to Pac Fair, Griffith University, easy access to beaches, MQ, good public transport routes, plenty of supermarkets and shopping centres, Banks, medical facilities, child care, dog parks, a lot of river access points and parks on rivers (Nerang river runs to Surfers and out to Spit). The neighbors are generally helpful, the GCCC services are great and there are cycling tracks and bike share markings on roads. Like anywhere, you have to do a solid recon before you sign anything. You can chalk this up to experience, cullumm
