"Dodgy and disgusting!"
DUMP! What are you ppl on? This suburb is awful! I rented there briefly and NEVER ever will I even drive through there. Dangerous, people always watching you when you go to the store. I was afraid my bag would be snatched or car broken into. And, the seedy dodgy people that live there, lets just say Frankston is Toorak for Woodridge. Forget it, if you can avoid living here, do so. I never had to call the police in my life prior to moving there, I was almost broken into twice and one of my cars got vandalized. I also lived in a street with a woman who was mentally ill, and would get severely intoxicated and then try to kill the neighbours children, and at night she would roam the streets half naked screaming obscenities at people. The police apparently couldnt do anything because she was certified ill and the house was owner occupied by her and technically she was not committing a crime. Either way, I would never ever ever live there.
Not great for
- Awful dodgy, crime, weird people
- Smelly, dirty, cheap
I know she was mentally ill because her son, ex husband and the police told us she was certified mentally ill but could do nothing to protect the residents of the street because she was an owner-occupier. She tried numerous times to run over the neighbors children, would run out in the middle of the night heavily intoxicated and under the influence naked....so yeh, please don't tell me about how awful my experience there was/ if you want to live there and live in an absolute dump of a place, with dirty streets, rubbish all over the car parks, and bogans walking round bare foot yelling out "how ya goin'" to their junkie dealers, then go for it. I certainly, will not subject myself to that ever again.
hey , this place isnt that bad and i have lived here in the same house for 18 yrs since i was born , yes some of the people that live here are little feral gutter rats , and you get the occasional crazys but put that aside it isn't that bad of a place if your goin to be moving here find out how the neighbours are first , because you shouldnt judge someone before you know them , if you dont get involved with the wrong crowed then you wont have a problem just stick to your own and dont get involved in others dramas then you will be fine! Trust me i know ive been in the wrong crowed before and once they were being stupid and screwing me around and that i just cut them out of my life and everything has been fine ...... yes people think its a bad place but really it isnt , if you know the right people you will be fine , maybe you were in a "posh" place before hand but it isnt that bad if there are fights, you shouldnt judge till you know the whole story FIRST!
As an overall, I would say Woodridge has to be one of the worst places to live. It is comparable to living in Sydney's dodgy southern subjects. I've only been here a year and without fail, every day I go out, I witness some sort of horrid crime taking place. Sure, there is the odd nice person but that's 1 out of 100. I am sick of this shitty area.. I cannot wait for our time to be up so we can leave this place! I would never send my children to the schools here... you don't want them mixing with what Woodridge has on offer.
mentally ill people can live anywhere. That's not a reflection on the suburb.
However it is a suburb where a higher rate of these people live. The fact is these low socio economic suburbs have much higher rates of crimes. Very obvious. Low income earners = higher rate of crimes and drug offences which = an unsafe area. Woodbridge is a well known dump of a suburb.
"Very safe, quiet and an excellent place for golfers."
My grandparents house was the first house ever built in the Estate 22 years ago and they still live here. I visited every year from Melbourne whilst i was a child and never felt unsafe here. I now live here through rental and apart from a couple of occasions where the neighbors had a party, it's always quiet, even throughout the day. most of the people that live here are retirees, and you will even find all the families with kids who have been here from long ago are either moving on as the kids get older or the kids are! Apart from a hoon or two every so often, it is a very safe place to live, with big wide streets for kids to play, and at night you are lucky if you here a pin drop. I would live here any time. The whole estate is centered around a golf course which has beautiful walking tracks and is tucked away enough that passing it, you would probably miss it (if you didn't know it was there)
Great for
- Quiet, big wide streets
- Golf course, close to bush and suburbs (if needed)
- Sunny bright days, comfortable living
Not great for
- The growing kids and their cars
Who lives here?
- Professionals
- Singles
- Families with kids
- Retirees
- LGBT+
- Trendy & Stylish
"I cant wait to move there!"
I came here on an afternoon trip for Australia Day to have a look at a puppy (which of course I got!) and fell in love with Mundoolun from the moment we drove into the Estate. Since then, my husband and I have been working fervently to save so we can move there ourselves, because when we originally moved to QLD almost 4 years ago from Melbourne, we wanted to get away from the rat race and enjoy our life. I take every opportunity to go there for a drive, and cannot wait to move there. We have seen our fair share of roos and koala's, and cannot wait to call it home for ourselves one day!
Great for
- Scenic and quiet
- Friendly people, lots of wildlife
- Away from the hustle and bustle
Who lives here?
- Professionals
- Singles
- Families with kids
- Retirees
- Hipsters
- Country Lovers
If you lived anywhere where you have a certified mentally ill person as a neigbour you may still have those problems. There aren't any mentally ill people in Paddington, Ascot, New Farm or Stretton? I don't think people in Woodridge are any of those things you mentioned, sure there may be individuals who may need help, but to generalise like that is horrid.
