Reading reviews I was not sure about buying in this area however value for money was outstanding. The day we moved in we had visits from several neighbors welcoming us to the area and offering to help!!!!! Amazing where else in Perth would you have that we have made lots of new friends already and regularly enjoy a glass of wine. Local schools are excellent both primary and Ocean Reef high school is excellent my kids are very happy. Close to Joondalup shops, train station, ECU, hospital, beaches, swimming pool you name it and it won't be more than 5 minutes away. Houses are being renovated everywhere which is great. Crime is low I feel safe walking at night. I know people say there is no tavern but it takes us 10 minutes to walk to the Beldon which is a fantastic local pub with great food or a $5 uber ride to Joindalup - close enough to enjoy but not too close to cause trouble. I'm in love with this area.......a hidden gem!

I was drawn into the location and the house prices have dropped a lot so some great deals available. House we liked at was near Marmion so traffic noise was constant especially at peak time. The biggest problem for us was the high school option.......check into it first. If we brought we would have to pay private school fees. Safe for adults but would be worried about my high school children walking about.
