4 great primary schools and 3 daycares (that I know of and I’m certain there is more). Minutes from Hillarys boat harbour, Mullaloo beach, Whitfords/Joondalup/Karringyup shopping centre, Whitfords and Greenwood train stations. With the Nature Reserve close by we get lots of different kinds of birds in the area and the odd kangaroo sighting. Padbury Shops is very convenient (although I do find the IGA one of the more expensive ones around). Padbury pharmacy/coffee shop Alex Jnr is amazing! I do agree that the houses in the area can be alittle pokey and outdated but the blocks are big with plenty of room for outdoor play for the kiddos (unlike much of the newer houses being built with tiny alfresco and barely any lawn). Alot of the older homes have amazing renovating potential.

Plus Padbury has just undergone rezoning not that long ago and since then a lot of residents have been given the opportunity to subdivide or upgrade their property or sell. As a result I have noticed more and more younger families move back into the area.

I have lived in Padbury for quite some time now and in my opinion this suburb has only continued to get better since I moved here.
