Loobs

I am so surprised at all the bad reviews - perhaps we live in the part of Dianella where everyone is lovely? Moved here about 6 years ago, firstly to Surrey St, then to Leeds St - both places I could not fault. Shopping is on your doorstep, both streets were filled with friendly neighbours (esp Leeds st) with a real community feel. I definately feel safe here, and have 2 young children so this matter is paramount to me. I don't think its a cheap place to live if you are a young family starting out, however if you can afford it, I would definately recommend it. It's close to the city should you work there, many schools close by and a choice of shopping centres. I think there are a lot of older residents around these particular streets and families - I must say I have never seen (or heard) a raging party - not saying they don't happen, but it has a more mature feel here. I have had the displeasure of living in Armadale once, and if I use a 'safety scale' out of 10, I would say I felt 2 in Armadale and 10 here. I have no fear of walking my small dog at night. Resale value of houses appears to hold its own.
