The best parts of Beeliar, close to the bush, quiet, leafy, great neighbors and well-maintained yards in our area. Child friendly with school zone speed limits con the Grange and Beeliar Primary School which has great reviews. Plentiful leafy parks with playground equipment through the suburb and a great set of shops.

The set of shops include a daycare, physio, doctor/GP, chemist/pharmacy, woodfired pizza joint, newsagent/lotto, ATM, a well stocked IGA bigger, Liquorland, quaint coffee shop and fish and chip shop! There is also a community center with rooms for hire(hosted our sons 1st birthday here for $70) and large ovals with sporting events most weekends be it Aussie rules football, soccer or cricket in the off season.

There is a large lake with a fountain that has baby ducks in springtime and large Koi that swim in the shallows waiting for a morsel of bread. There is plenty of parking and direct access via Beeliar Drive out to the Freeway or down to the beach via Coogee.

The Beeliar wetlands nearby with Thomson and Kogolup lake provide a plethora of native birdlife to enjoy in the big trees that litter the suburb. If you want to view them in their natural habitat, simply take a bush walk through one of the many road accesses into the Conservation park that is managed by DBCA.

There are beautiful lakes with all sorts of wild life to enjoy walking through with maintained paths and signage. Our son loves exploring the bushland and seeing the animals/birdlife. The close streets and narrow roads in the housing areas ensure people slow down naturally which we have found is reassuring with our young family.

There is a tight knit community that ensure sporting events and local community events on the oval continue throughout the year. We have done improvements to our house that was built in 1994 over the last 12 months with plans to stay here long term. There is plenty of people walking dogs and people exercising frequently that use the street to access the local bushland so there is always a friendly face to wave at.

Yes, there is some negatives in that the cement plant smells when they burn off the shell grit to make the lime for cement. Our experience of this has been infrequent at best over near the bushland/school. We find that due to the large leafy trees in the suburb we don't have to run our aircon nearly as much as we did when we lived in one of the newer estates with no established large trees.

I've selfishly recommended this suburb to my friends and family to increase the number of friendly neighbors that we already have.

The best parts of Beeliar, close to the bush, quiet, leafy, great neighbors and well-maintained yards. Child friendly with school zone speed limits close by and the lovely Beeliar Primary School 250m away. Access to the park which is well maintained the same distance away. Love our tight knit community we have built in the street over the last 12 months. Tucked away and off the main drag so you don't get any street noise, dog walkers and people exercising frequently use the street to access the local bushland so there is always a friendly face to wave at. There is only 14 houses on the street and half of them have young children as of July 2023.
