There's a joke about Westminster being 'fancy Balga' as Balga was rezoned in 1994.

Westminster / Balga were notorious for crime, but I have seen it change a lot in the last few years, there's a lot more first owner owners, more young families and a lot of housing development.

Even though there are parks near by it's not somewhere I would frequent due to the sketchy characters. Mirrabooka avenue and Ravenswood drive is a bit of traffic hazard with spending and drink driving. My family have lived there for over 30 years and have been broken into a few times over the years but nothing recently.

The area is very affordable and accessible and has great shopping including an Aldi. The infrastructure is good and Mirrabooka shopping centre has medical centres, a library. There's plenty of food options, an ice skating rink and community halls.
