burbs anywhere to avoid


Recommended Posts

There are a few I wouldn't live in due to crime being relatively high. Balga, Mirabooka, Koondoola, Girrawheen, Ballajura, Lockridge, Marangaroo. All of these places are not typically suburbs where British people would settle. I can't comment on SOR as I don't know the dodgy suburbs down there. Some say avoid Armadale and Midland too.

Hi Tony,

I'm a local from WA, I would suggest avoid suburbs like Balga (North) Mirrabooka (North) these areas have had high rates of violence.

I hope this helps?

Don't go north of Reid Highway or south of Roe. Try not to go east of Tonkin if you can.

 

Even then you may have trouble.

 

And for reference, I've lived in Mt Nasura, Dalkeith, Bibra Lake, Burswood & Bayswater.

Lots of great suburbs north of Reid Highway, Sorrento, Marmion, Carine, Duncraig, Hillarys, Mullaloo, Ocean Reef etc etc.

Hi, come across this old post but just wondered what was wrong with Rockingham? This is our top of the list place to live when we move out there.....gulp, afraid of what I am about to hear though now!:unsure:

 

You will be fine........ Especially if you are bringing the dog in your avator with you :wink: Rocky is a good, whole hearted, dinky die Aussie area and it is what it is. Go there have a look and if you do not like it then choose somewhere else.

Yep Scooby the dog is coming out with us! And a darn good guard dog he is! We've been to Rocky and loved it.
