"Great neighbours in a bad area!"
I lived in Gannet Street for 24 years and I can say it was a very good street. Gannet Street is amongst the infamous bad area of "Birdsville" however it is right on the outskirts. This street once like the whole estate consisted of mostly housing commission homes which caused the whole area to be very dangerous and rough!
There is only 1 home left in this street which is tenanted through Housing commission and they are characters, however there have been no bad or big incidents from this. Also take into consideration that as of May 2010 the Housing commission will have sold out near all their homes throughout this estate! Yes you read right lol.
I personally love this street and the people in it. (Along with Quail Crt.) There are basically just elderly living in this street now which is a bonus if you like peace.
It will also make for a great investment as I personally believe this entire estate will be worth big money in the years to come as its the most central estate to EVERYTHING! i.e police station, Werribee Plaza, Werribee central, Werribee Mercy Hospital etc.

"Nice area.."
I moved to tarneit last year but have always lived close by anyway and I can say it is a nice looking and clean town.
Tarneit has some great local public, catholic and other schools. It is also VERY multi cultural.
Tarneit has a very high crime rate with burglary being at the top, however i fortunately have not experienced this. There are so many new estates going up and it is growing fast. I personally hate that alot of the newer estates here are more townhouses. Even the homes are all ontop of each other.

"Werribee is great, but only for some!"
I was born and raised in Werribee for the last 26 years. I have lived all around Werribee and this is my opinion... In regards to job opportunities, schooling, medical needs etc Werribee fortunately has it all! Retail therapy and shopping Werribee is also idea for, the Werribee Plaza has it all! The other plus is it is very easy and reasonably quick for a trip into the CBD.
Now for the negative.. Werribee is far from a safe area. There are alot of drugs, violence and hang abouts. Its not a town that I would ever let my children play outside unless under my complete supervision. You do get this in every town how ever I do believe it is very bad here and with the police shortage which is not set to get any better anytime soon I would not reccommend moving to werribee in hope of a fun, friendly family enviroment.
I will also add that i believe Werribee is an ivestors dream location. Its is growing bid and fast!
