"A great affordable family friendly place to live"
I have lived in Devonport and have found it to be a lovely city with many things to do. It has lovely clean beaches and is the doorstep to the rest of tassie. It is alsoonly a small flight to melbourne (45mins) or take the boat overnight. The schools are very good also.

Lovely long Sandy beach adjacent to the Life saving club and dual level cafe/ restaurant complex with lovely water views.
Would love some extensive info, and on safest suburbs and good childcares/primary schools... I was considering Devonport, but the talk of drugs and crime has scared me, being a single mum. Could you guys give me a really thorough honest review? Is it safe? What parts to avoid :(
Will someone really break in to my home? :( that's scary, what areas does that happen. I can't afford Hobart now with the price hikes and amount of people moving over there in the last 12 months.
"fantastic community spirit, a friendly family area to call home"
We moved here from interstate and have been welcomed into the community, it is only 20 minutes to devonport with its great shops and clean beaches and great medical facilities but railton has the real country town feel . Our children love the parks and I feel safe about them going there with each other and not having to have my husband or myself watch over them. Its like how I remember growing up 30 years ago... safe!!!!

The so called "clean beaches" have minimal sand and more rocks and pebbles. Also dog feces everywhere due to a lot of dog owners in Devonport and they all run around the beaches and playground.
