waglio Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 We are thinking of settling in the Burns Beach (Perth) area. Any views / comments on the area and surroundings? Any opinions regarding purchasing a home in this area? Is it a good investment? Would appreciate any feedback from anyone that knows the area or have also settled here.

newjez Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I've always loved Burns beach, but it is pricey, and does seem to be surrounded by less desirable suburbs. You can get more for less close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get more for less close by. Thanks for your reply. We also loved the area immediately, but due to not knowing about the surroundings, I'm a little cautious of rushing into to it. Which other areas close by are you referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest66881 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Brightons a bit of a mish mash for me really, go ocean side of Marmion and your prices go up wherever you look. Besides you will need the obligatory speed boat/jet ski 6ltr ute a couple of high end 4x4s to fit in, oh and speak with a full english breakfast voice.

northernbird Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Nice suburb if you like soul-less new build places. Nice suburbs such as Mindarie, Ocean Reef, Currambine, Kinross surround it which are cheaper and a bit more established. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest66881 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Depends on what you want others to see in you i suppose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernbird Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Plus as far as I am aware it has no shops, no school, not great public transport either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortytwo Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yes the cafe does good food and a real meeting point for locals. My sister in law is in Perth and we go there quite often when visiting. I don't know much about the local area though. I quite like Quinns rock - bit different. Million dollar houses by old fashioned shacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest66881 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yeah Quinns a bit of a backwater in parts but like i said get the ocean side on Marmion and the prices just go sillier, i dislike as they are mainly boxes built in sandboxes.

northernbird Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Personally I would be looking below Hillary's, maybe around woodvale. If they like shiny new suburbs then Woodvale just isn't going to cut the mustard, even though it is a fantastic suburb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyHeart Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Burns is nice, nice coastal path, nice beach, nice (overpriced) cafe, playpark...windy though and if you're going that far up, you'd get better coastal value elsewhere like Yanchep, Alkimos, Brighton etc... Woodvale ain't 'all that' and I wouldn't rate the school either...tidy suburb, granted but overpriced again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjez Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Woodvale isn't beachside. Hillary's, woodvale and surrounds would give you a good search area. Beach side and close tobeachside. It's where I would look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any experience of duncraig or woodvale high schools, but I've heard good reports on both. What don't you like about woodvale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lozzachino Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Burns beach is a very nice new are with the nice price tag that comes along. Its opposite iluka which is also an affluent area and across from kinross which is ok as well with older houses but still new compared to areas closer to the city. Its at the end of the freeway so makes it closer than going up to clarkson, mindarie, quinns etc, which is another 10/15 mins drive from the freeway. It may not have any shops but its a less than 5 min drive to currumbine shops with restaurants, cinema and petrol station, and not far to the train station. you could certainly do far worse than burns beach!
