Guest Purplelady Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hi - Yes we live in Spearwood, we bought here 18 months ago. My honest answer is that some areas good some not as nice which I'm sure can be said for a lot of suburbs. We live on the Spearwood/Coogee Boarder and are west of Rockingham Road (so nearer the coast) and we live in a very family friendly cul de sac with nice houses surrounding. Not sure about areas east of Rockingham road or towards Hamilton Hill or too close to Pheonix shopping centre. Happy to answer any specific questions if you want any info Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinahat1975 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hi there thanks for the info we are looking at a house inNewton St. Looks like around it is good and we will be next to a school which is slso good. Will just have to see if we can get it!!!!!! To rent here is so hard or the houses are shocking for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Purplelady Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Newton Primary is about 800 meters away from our house on a map! Good luck getting it - yes the rentals are very difficult to secure, am sure you have had advice already but it helps if you can commit to a long lease eg at least a year and also paying several months up front eg 3-6months can be a sweetener too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemma87 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Amy can i ask if you know what newton school is like, when/if we get our visa we will be moving to spearwood not far from the market garden swap. i think this is the school in the catchment area but not 100% sure. thanks gemma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im so sorry but I know absolutely nothing about the primary schools in the area as I dont have kids myself and my friends kids are all just bubs! I have a feeling that Coogee Primary on Mayor road is pretty desirable for this area tho. The only info I can give is that obviously Newton School is in the part of Spearwood to the east of Rockingham Road which is not as desirable as the part to the west of Rockingham Road (eg Market Garden Swamp) - I not sure if that would affect things.... Sorry I cant help more on that one, but if there is anything else about the area you want to know please dont hesitate to ask Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
