Regaulary worried I'll be be broken into, I feel uneasy at times but take into mind I lived in the country for over 18 years so I miss the peace and tranquility of noone around I purely moved here for personal reasons. And within the 7 years of living here Ive never once been broken into (tuch wood)

With all that being said it is most of the times peaceful ☮️ what I'm saying is, it's by all means a very livable area and it is generally safe I wouldn't say all the streets are perfect but it has local parks a playground etc for living/ families etc, And the home is what you make it don't be discouraged by some run down homes in the area, alot of the housing trust homes in this area have been sold off privatly.

This area may very well increase value as south gets bigger witch it noticablely is fastly! Christie Downs has alot of potential, if it was tidied up a little to add more of a nicer scenary and maintained by the local council this would be a wonderful treat to the eye.

There are alot of housing trust homes in this area as stated earlier but keep in mind most have been sold off privatly but you do find patches aswell still under public housing with a high unemployment rate residing in this suburb
this suburb can at times attract rebels or general crime,and is by all means not the perfect suburb but really where is?
I wouldn't personally walk alone in this suburb alone at night but that's just me, sometimes this suburb can have uneasy people around, but when I have had to walk at night, I haven't had had much trouble at all, and most citizens are law obaying, families or a general down to earth mixed of helpful people, like in any suburb you get the great, ok and down right ugly.

It's an ok area(in my oppinion), as every where there are parts that are very quite and beautiful and there are also very tough suburbs, in this case Christie Downs does not differ.

Personally for me, after living here for 7 years and counting now, I am planning to move due to the regularly increasing crime, not perticulary always in Christie downs but in the surrounding suburbs.
I have noticed in my street it's slowly increasing more and more and having a wash off effect of bad behaviour or illigal activity into Christie downs but don't let that put you off, With all that being said Christie downs really is in a prime location.

You really can not ask for a better location of this suburb, you have a majoir shopping precinct a stone throw away or a bus or train ride away (collonades shopping centre) witch people often diss when it's actually a preety great mall sure you get the troubled youth at times but again this whole area has fantastic potential and everything really is at your feet for easy living, you have an OTR and other facilities like a baseball ovel, post office, food land, aged care all within walking distance and a train station witch (badly needs upgrading) witch I believe they are in the process of now. Recently you have all the modern luxurys such as uber eats delivering mc Donald's and a NBN not that should make you want to move here ny all means but for the suburbs it's not actually all bad!

Christie Downs is also litterly a five minute walk to the lovley Christie's beach and from Christie's beach you have lovley footpaths and bike paths to help you along the way that take you all the way to port Noarlunga, you are close enough at times you can actually smell the salt from the sea again that's my oppinion that or I'm going crazy.

Overall in my oppinion without being crusified on here, Christie downs is a bit of a lower income suburb and there definitely is higher income suburbs surrounding the area witch there is nothing wrong that by all means, but unfortunately at times due to this you can at times notice it to be rough but with a bit of the local government and enforcement, if they actually started to taking notice of this potentially wonderful suburb with a bit of fixing things and getting rid of community housing in the area or just a genreal sprucing up, this sunburb could become highly spoken of and evan worth more value.

My overall recomonations would be not not to move here but to really investigate this area and possibly a little further south, such as port Noarlunga, Seaford etc but if your on a tight budget and want a house that's a good size and and an ok suburb that has room for improvement it's most definitely worth your value and you could be comfortable here.

Southern Adelaide is a great district as a whole in my oppinion and you would regret not taking a close look at all the suburbs up South especially with the newish southern express way and newly southern suburbs in creations such as Seaford heights etc. The south is definitely growing and it's generally a nice area with everything a person would need somtimes south like north get bagged out but I fail to understand why it's all to do with personal preference.

this is just my honest and personal oppinion, yours may vary the only way to know for sure if Christie Downs is for you is if you stop reading peoples personal reviews online and have a look for yourself! 😉 Hopefully this was helpful enough if not we'll I tried haha!
