Rivervale

"Great location, but dodgey as hell."

We moved to Rivervale 8 months ago. We are a married couple in our 30s.
It's lovely being so close to the city and freeway. The river is beautiful to look at and walk along.
BUT I have never felt so unsafe in my life. I carry pepper spray, and won't walk along the river on my own. The cops make constant visits with their lights and sirens on to a certain area down the road just about every single night. The parks and paths are filled with people shooting up. Cars are broken into constantly. Shit heads jumping fences. Mailboxes broken into daily..You hear domestics often. The list goes on.. I've never made so many crime stoppers and 000 reports, it's crazy.

Would recommend the location for purely its location being close proximity to so much. But would never recommend buy a house on land here.. We are in an apartment, luckily it's a secure complex, and we are high up so feel safe.. Our visitors cars however are never safe.

Basically.. Stay away.. Go somewhere nicer. Somewhere you can feel safe.

Hopefully you decided against it, Vantage in itself has its own issues with building defects BGC refuse to fix and crappy design flaws by the designer. However if you ended up buying here, welcome! Haha

What about Nannine Place? Is it really that bad? I am looking at a place there, in a hexagon shaped building...please help

That hexagon shaped building is called Rivellux Villas managed by the corrupt Richardson Strata Management that ruined the place so stay well clear and next door is homeswest, apparently one of the most visited place by Police in all of WA. The street is a rubbish dump, whole area is unsafe, cars always broken into at all times of day, windows smashed and units broken into mainly on ground floor. What a shame, right next to river with lots of potential but City of Belmont has allowed this area to be run down and made it unsafe.

We deleted Rivervale from our lives. Yes its close to many major busy roads that lead to the city or airport and its close to the casino. This is where it ends for us. Schools are very limited unless you wish to travel. The problems in the local public schools due to the socially housed problem makers make sending your kids there not an option. The constant break ins and damage to cars is beyond belief. If you enjoy indigenous culture well you will hit the jackpot here and understand just why they feature on the news each night because you will experience it in full 3D constantly to the denial of most counsellors and decision makers. Its just not safe. Avoid houses on a route to the shops by foot as they will be walking past hurling abuse at you often. The parks are just ok. The shops are a disgrace. Belmont forum is not bad but nothing else is of any use. At night you can enjoy the constant drone of the busy roads and planes flying in. But gee its so close to the city. You know, that city that youll hardly ever go in to visit. Good luck.

Just trying to get more intel on Nannine place. my Living history is living right on wellington street for over a year next to Yagan square. I have never felt more unsafe and superficially trained in martial arts to survive being so close to northbridge and the Yagan square area every night and I would see crime every second week. Could you assume its at least better than that?
