We have lived in St James for nearly 12 years and have seen the transformation from dodgy to desirable. We bought when the housing boom was on the rise with a few statewest homes around but since the redevelopment of the Brownleigh Towers (Bentley) the undesirable element has moved on and our home has seen a great improvement in value. Their are pockets of homes that could be considered unsafe but they are more in Canning Council area where it could be improved but the Vic Park zone is leafy clean and family friendly. Anything north of Boundary Road is worth it (vic park council area). The parks such as Houghton Park is a great hub for local dog lovers, basketballers and young families wanting to play on the swings. The council have organized functions at the park with food trucks, games and even a little market last year which brought the neighbors together with pride. Recommend it for anyone looking for bang for their buck that love local restaurants, work in the city and love parks to run with other dog lovers. Hey
