I was living in a suburb that had a reputation for being unsavoury.
After 4.5yrs, I finally had the opportunity to move.
I reviewed the real estate sites for WEEKS and had been looking at Caroline Springs. I finally found a near-perfect home to rent, it ticked every box for all the features I wanted in a house. I double checked where it was located -- not near a motorway, a school, a main road, a rail line.
Essentially I was keen to find a home in a good neighbourhood, that was likely to be quiet, with good neighbours.
I researched as much as I could.
Within the first few days after the removal truck had gone and I was just starting to unpack, I had the following experiences:
Hoons driving aggressively, dangerously and threateningly, twice being near run off the road, all because they have bad attitudes, and need to speed everywhere, and intimidate people.
Cats coming into my yard and fighting.
The neighbour with a dog that barks every day, unattended and non-stop.
Oh, and two houses up, FERALS. The kind of neighbours that have a VERY LOUD V8 turbo car, coming and going (and likely breaching COVID), and allowing the car to sit and idle for a very long time. The use of machinery/tools for hours, and Saturday, barely 4wks into my new accommodation, the ferals host a party on Grand Final night... the TV too loud, and when the game was over, the party kicked on, loud, drunken and here I am writing the review at 1.30am and the party is still kicking on.
I have called 000 three times and nothing has changed.
Before moving here, I read about the lack of police presence, that during the day there is a police station. But, during the night, the only station is Sunshine... and I already know how "too busy" they are, serving their own area.
If I am going to be spending the kind of rent money to live here, when it is allegedly touted as the upmarket suburb, I EXPECT decent people who have respect and a sense of appreciation for living quietly... NOT FERALS who use aggressive intimidation to ensure no-one challenges their behaviour.
I am DONE -- I openly REGRET moving here.
I hate the place already.
BIG MISTAKE.
If people can't live with quiet respect for each other, and instead don't care where their pets are or what they are doing, and who don't care about how much noise they make and in fact revel in making annoying noise (and probably breaching COVID restrictions to boot) then how are people meant to build neighbourly relationships?
I am over it.
Sadly, I have to endure this BS for 6mths, before I can move out...
Don't fall for the pretty pictures of nice houses in nice tree lined streets.
Seems the ferals will show up here probably because it is reasonably affordable.
Hugely disappointed.
**I may revisit this review -- IF the situation positively changes. Otherwise I may just update this review and be even more honest about what I am paying too much money to put up with (the other "unsavoury" suburb not this bad).
