It really depends on which part of west footscray you live. I used to live on Robert st which is closer to yarraville and can say it was great. Close to city, close to shops, cafes, schools, yarraville village, etc.

Theres been a crime wave today. I was just robbed a near new $1200 escooter from my front yard. I then caught someone ditching a bike they had just stolen an hour or more after. And at 5pm there was a police manhunt for a suspect who had stolen a truck and flipped it on Francis St attempting to escape said police. Im not having a good day.

We've lived here for 4 months and not had 1 issue, we moved from Kensington and were broken into while we were living there. My advice - move to the South side of the railroad tracks, it's where we are and we're loving it!

Three years living in West Footscray and we are stoked and happy to have secured a place here. We are on the south side of the rail tracks. It has a neighbourhood feel, people are quite friendly, massive park, tennis court, leafy street and walking distance to Kingsville, Seddon and even Yarraville’s cafes and restaurants.
