"Avoid the Bayswater crime hub and you will be fine."
I've lived in the City of Bayswater all my life and Bayswater itself for over five years. The first two years were great, then I moved closer to the train station and pub. Now my life is a misery of antisocial behaviour every night, not just on weekends. They even tried to close down the police station but thank goodness it didn't go ahead. I've been burgled more than once, seen street fights, domestics, car fires, had people passed out on the verge, somebody letting off fireworks, a constant stream of misdirected taxis arrive in my driveway. I've had to wipe blood off my front door. Thankfully, I don't have children because despite the school up the road, nobody follows the speed limit. Bayswater used to be lovely, since they shut down other nightlife spots, the nightlife has moved to Bayswater and brought all the trouble of the city out to the suburbs. The houses are now overpriced, too.

Very surprised by your comments, having lived in Bayswater for the last 5 years, really lovely family suburb.
I agree with you guys even we living on the main road of bayswater never had any bad experience. Very friendly and family kinda surbub.
We live on Guildford road and have had someone jump our back fence and run through our yard on their way to break into our next door neighbours house. Our other next door neighbour had his tires stolen right off his car. I've been hassled a couple of times by people at the bus stop outside my house to. As soon as I go down one of the side streets though the atmosphere changes completely it's a lot nicer and calmer.
I have lived in Bayswater for over 5 years now on Guildford road very good in my area except for people using Guildford road as a race track at nights and a few cars smashing into the bus stop oh by the way we have lost our bus shelter all together because of those guys that stole a car and where being chased by the police and the car smashed into the bus stop thank god no one was waiting for a bus at the time other than that did catch a bloke in my back yard one night but considering l use to live in wellard and warnbro a long time ago and the crime back then was ridiculous there l would say l am more happy to live in Bayswater any day.
I have lived in Embleton near Hillcrest Primary school for four years. The surrounding area is very quiet and I have had no problems with theft or breakins. However I have had some issues with Bayswater council.
Recently I got a $100 fine for parking for 5 minutes just outside Bayswater Primary school, in a spot I have parked in for years. I wasn't able to have the fine cancelled. I also had a problem getting rid of a 3 seater sofa, because their council skip doesn't open, and I couldn't get the sofa in the skip. I eventually had to dismantle it. Also I am not happy about the big increase in their rates over the past two years.
Wow... are you sure youre talking about Bayswater WA? We love it here and we are almost neighbours
