"Where the hell is Toogoom"
Good community overall, once you have lived here awhile. Some poorer development has been allowed out the back, to the detriment of the wider community. Never trust a development with a sports star promoting it. Great beaches and beautiful affordable beach side homes. No Public transport and very little amenities, but this part of its appeal. Don't let property spruikers sell you rubbish in this end of town, the quality is in the established homes. One street in the new development, houses a glorified Slum drive through it and you will see why. If you are a decent human being you will be welcomed to Toogoom, otherwise try town.

Ops, I forgot the one Bus a day.
If you want severl buses then don't buy in toogoom and there are 3 other buses that go to the schools aswell
I think Toogoom is great. I own beach front, but having lived here a long time proToogoom I will point out the cons as well as the pros in this or any community. Toogoom is great but originally from the big smoke I think it is important people realise the public transport as it stands, is an issue for anyone who would want to travel to and from work during business hours. P.S. I don't have to stick any url links in my comments, so as to sell the new greatest get rich quick scheme! As I thought, another Spruiker with alter motives aren't you Protoogoom.
Toogoom is mainly for retirees the fact is there is a bus run now I was simply pointing out there is a bus run, you alluded there was no transport the fact is buses do run into centro daily
P.S if I want to post a link that shows buyers and sellers a way to buy property with no stamp duty and it help moves this dreadful undervalued market because my property and many others have lost thousands some 50k+ since the the GFC is that really a bad thing.
I have been here 12 years when there were no bus runs or eli waters shopping centre or yarilee primary school
it takes 13mins to drive to eli waters shopping centre how long does it take to get anywhere in the big smoke...
It has been pretty harrowing living in Toogoom - people wandering around with beer cans and bottles at hand. Had a neighbour come bashing at the door threatening to get her husband to come beat me up with a baseball bat as she does not like ' freaks ' ( yes I had to call the police on the inebriate female ) . I am afraid to go out on my balcony in the evenings as there is usually a couple of large men drinking beer at the end of my driveway talking rather loudly - sometimes yelling at eachother... Lease up in ten weeks and I can hardly wait to leave!
I have heard of this street but can't pin point. Hoping to avoid the dodgy area and keen to give Toogoom a go. Any clues?
Stay away from Swan View St and Brackish Court would be my suggestion. In saying that the new local real estate agency has worked hard to get the undesirables moved on and the neighbourhood is getting better.
I live in Brackish Court and I've only ever had an issue with 1 lady in the street, and that's because she thinks she's better than everyone else... Because she has a bus
Ha Maybe she can organise some more transport to the Bay :)
