"So close to everything"
Everything is on your doorstep! Great to see nice trees, duck ponds, walking tracks as well as being so close to all facilities. I like the mixtures of homes and great to see people love trees/palms. Good to be close to Drovers fruit market also. We live in a lovely cul de sac with great neighbours who really do look out for each other.
Leave the car at home and walk and see how lucky we are in Joondalup

Southern Cross, were you born and breed in Perth? What you say does have some merit, however, firstly not everyone works in the city. You can do yourself and the environment a favour - leave the car at home and you can get a seat on a train from Joondalup station (I don't like your chances within the 15klm "circle"). Secondly if you have lived and travelled in other larger cities you would appreciate the fast trip from Joondalup to the city! Thirdly for those that are looking to buy in or near Joondalup, Joondalup is the satelite city of Perth (in the North) and as you will agree alot of people work in Joondalup (hospital, university, police academy, one of the largest shopping centres in Perth, the arena etc)
Anyone reading this Perth has grown in population in the recent years and is no more "spread out than any other city. The distance you have to travel each day to get to work depends on where you have come from, believe me Joondalup to Perth city is not that far and the train system is fairly reliable and new compared to alot of other cities.
Lastly you could always wait till you win the lottery and buy into the "circle", just don't expect a seat!
I would have to agree, Perth is so big and espensive these days, I don't know anyone who lives within 15kms of the city - because you'd have to be a millionaire to afford a property in this 'circle'!
And who wants to be close to the cbd anyway?! There is nothing there! Many people nowadays would prefer to be near the shops, beach & schools and have a backyard - Perth city and its close surrounding suburbs simply don't offer any of this! Joondalup is a city in it's own right, I love it there!
Joondalup does have some good features, however realistically it's the Absolutely furtherest you would want to live from the City. First rule of property is that you never buy outside the 15km distance circle from the city, unless there is a unique feature of the property which is in Hightower demand.
Unfortunately Joondalup just becomes just like any other millions of suburbs around Perth - a sad fact that Perth is just simply to spread out.
If you work in the city - don't bother.
