nandoe

I have lived in Ballajura with my family for a couple of years - didn't know much about it before we moved here, but it had some very nice affordable housing with decent gardens, and not crammed in like sardines like in the newer suburbs, so we instantly liked it.
Bought a house with a nice garden in a quiet cul de sac - kids are nice and safe, play with the neighbours across the street. Several good schools, mine go to Mary McKillop and they love it but Ballajura Primary School also has a good reputation.
WE are lucky to be very close to the local Woolworths , so grocerys are a breeze and there is also a really good Chinese vegi shop on Marshal Road.
So many activities for the kids - with Malaga being so close - ice skating/ roller skating/ trampolining. karate, swimming - ballajura also has its own local pool.
Lots of parks, and friendly neighbours.
Transport at the moment is not that great - just a few buses, but they are supposed to be building a train station in Malaga very soon, so that will be much improved.
If you want a nice affordable suburb with a decent sized house and garden, friendly neighbours and good family facilities, then Ballajura is a great place to look.
