I have loved living in Bassendean the past year and a half. The suburb has a real sense of community and is always doing something, e.g. Community outdoor cinema, mini food carnivals, monthly markets, decorate your mailbox Halloween competition, Australia Day fireworks and family friendly concerts. Bassendean is only a short taxi ride to The Guildford Hotel and The Rose & Crown. It also boats it's own local pubs, The Basso Hotel and The Cork & Bottle. Public transport is easy as the suburb runs along a train line which goes directly to the city. The river is great for walking and the people you meet are very friendly - and there is always plenty of dogs for pats! I have been very fortunate to have lovely neighbours who are quiet but like to chat when you see them around. The aircraft noise has not been too bad from my street (Wilson) and you quickly get used to it. The first night I was a bit shocked after coming from a suburb further from the airport but I barely notice it now. Bassendean is a beautiful suburb that unfortunately gets a bad wrap. I will truly miss living here.
