This propular suburb enjoys the same ranking status as the prestigious multimillion dollar suburbs of Claremont and Mosman Park at a mere fraction of the price, check it out yourself. I have lived there with my young family for 7 years and have never had any problems, There is an abundance of quality nearby schools and universities in the area with an ecclectic mix of aspiring and working foreigners living there making it a vibrant melting pot of cultures which contributes to Western Australias famous "Cafe Strip" which is within easy walking distance just in East Victoria Park. Fantastic for shopping, transport medical services and gyms without the Claremont prices or toffee nosed attitudes.
Great Value at a bargain basement price, if you can find better value offering the same features, Buy it !

There's been a huge improvement in the area as we've watched it change in the last 2 years. I completely agree with Kurt, so many reasons why we've made St James our home.

How do you know break ins are due to 'government tenants' pray tell?

I dont blame zigbysam for telling what s/he has seen and I really want to praise her/his bravery for doing so. I personally experienced bad neighbour nuisance issue s caused by public housing tenants. That took a year or so to settle down and left me with huge mental distress to deal afterwards. I know people would say it happens everywhere, but somewhere happens more than others for sure.
