I'm not sure how old some of the other reviews are (this one's late 2019) but the Croydon I live in bears no resemblance to some of the ones other reviewers have spoken about. I've lived here five years and have never seen any drug paraphernalia or similar. The suburb (and neighbouring West Croydon) have gentrified significantly in the last 10-15 years, with lots of the older residents departing and new young professionals families taking their place, attracted to the beautiful heritage housing stock, great cafe strip, lovely parks and proximity to public transport and the CBD. House prices have subsequently increased quite a lot but there are still some bargains to be had if you're willing to roll up your sleeves and renovate.

I couldn't think of a nicer place to bring up a family - this city-fringe heritage suburb is on track to become the next Unley in my opinion.
