First homeowners can get a good combination here of land and property - so for those who want more than just an alfresco, Coobie is a good place to look! We have bought, renovated and have enjoyed living here for the last two years (rather than living another 25kms south to be able to stick to our budget).Great place to buy and add value if you are a tradie or good at DIY as lots of older properties built of permanent materials. We have tripled our equity/investment in our time here which is appealing if you are jumping on the first rung of the property ladder. Great place if you are an avid gardener or want to grow your own veggies etc - our neighbours even have chooks!!
Shopping leaves bit to be desired but I find that we are close enough to Freo and other centres that it is not an issue (plus Coles and Woolies deliver bless them). Security is important - we have lights / alarm /padlocked gates etc and is good to make security measures visible as a deterrent. We have been careful but have had no problems.
