Having recently moved from Brisbane to Melbourne, I have been renting a townhouse in Jacana. In the past 9-months my home has been broken into twice and my car once. From what the police tell me it was likely junkies trying for a quick grab of goods before selling them for quick cash.

My home is secure and has a large gate at the front . . . but nothing seems to deter these criminals. Likely coming in from neighboring high crime suburbs like Broadmeadows,

And as for eating out and shopping - you need to head into the city if you want to avoid the low end rubbish being sold locally. Never had a decent local coffee (have tried multiple locations).

My lease is almost up . . . and as soon as it is I'll be packing my bags and leaving Jacana.
