Lived here for 13 years. Safe, quiet and close to the river and bowling club. Lots of young folk undertaking renovations. Maggie.

I live East of Spencer Road, and while I agree that the houses over this way are a little older and dated it's still a very safe and lovely area in which to live. The walk-paths along the river are splendid, and can safely be walked all hours of the day (I walk late-afternoon and there are always families with young children and dogs on leashes out for a stroll). Echoing the views of others who have posted here before me, there are plenty of older houses which have been demolished and rebuilt along Thornlie Ave, and an equal number of homes being renovated by young savvy types in neat little cul-de-sac's. There are some magnificent looking home on the banks of the Canning River (Jacqueline Drive, Glenbrook Road, Parkside Drive) although these are quite unaffordable nowadays. We live on Huggins Road and have never had any issues in the 13 years we've been there.
