"Small Suburb, Slum like in places"
Woodroffe has good sides and bad sides, there are some areas within the suburb where vagrancy of some rather uncouth groups choose to hang, and there are some better parts. Fenced houses for the most part to help deter crime, streets can be quiet, however some streets have a high rate of hoonage down them with street racers enjoying the quiet back streets with sharp turns.
Great for
- Close to the local Military Base
- Close to minor shopping centres
- Short drive (30m) to Darwin City
Not great for
- Vagrancy
- Hoons
- Generalised Gloominess
