I invested in building my first house Seaford Meadows four years ago. I happy with my decision for many reasons. I have very friendly neighbours, I find most people are willing to say hello or how are you. Transport is very convenient for a suburb 30kms from the city, with both the dual way southern expressway and the new train line. You have an almost endless choice of shopping, for food at least. Also the many choices in restraints. Not to mention a few minutes to some of the best coast in SA and the magnificent Mclaren Vale wine region.
Infact I see so much the potential for growth in this neighbourhood I recently built an investment property to capitalise on growth for the area.
For the down side, yes there is housing trust in this area, and so there should be. These people have the right just as everyone else to have a roof over their head, yes some are more deserving than others but that's another story. Crime is in almost all suburbs of Adelaide. I have never had a problem and usually leave my door unlocked if my neighbours want to come in.
overall there is a majority of hard working young families in the area. A lot of tradies and semi professional workers. If you want zero crime move to Springfield or Parkside. Good luck getting a four bedroom home for 380k. LOL
