Irishgirl1 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hi Sarah they are all pretty good suburbs, although Brentwood and Melville would be closer to the City and just down the road from Fremantle, depends if you are looking for schools as well, but you can't go too wrong.

Sarahb1986 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thank you for this. I am am going to be working in Bibra Lake and yes being close to Freo would be great and also the beach! Nope, no kids (yet)! Sarah x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! There are some feral parts, so have a good look around. Avoid anything obviously dodgy, like graphiti, tyre marks on the roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishgirl1 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 well I would say if you have no kids and you like Freo, Brentwood and Melville would be the best, good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I've heard mixed reports about Hammy Hill but a colleague lives there and loves it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 We lived in Hammy Hill and loved it there, short walk to South Beach and the cafe strip on South Street and a great cycle ride to Fremantle along the coast path (or even a walk it was about 5km) The rule of thumb is West of Carrington Street is good, East not so. Spearwood is not so good - a perfectly safe and decent suburb but that bit further away from the coast and Fremantle, public transport stops pretty early too. Coogee is further away again from Fremantle but is on the coast - the new marina part is stunning but the blocks are small and the houses pricey. Somewhere in the older part of the suburb but walking distance from the marina would probably be better. Melville I don't know so well, further inland so you would benefit less from the Fremantle Dr (the lovely breeze that makes the summer more bearable). probably slightly more upmarket than Hamilton Hill/Spearwood/older parts Coogee. A bit souless though. Personally I would say the nearer to the coast and the nearer to Fremantle you can afford to live the better lifestyle you will have but nowhere around Bibra Lake is to be avoided & the newish suburbs in Cockburn offer some great value if you don't mind being a bit further out - places like Beeliar, Success and slightly further out you can get some great large blocks at places like Yangebup. Or further inland but closer to the city places like Canning Vale, Leeming, Willeton. Sorry probably not helping as I am widening your options but really there are lots of decent and more affordable places to live around Bibra Lake.

Avoid anything obviously dodgy, like graphiti, tyre marks on the roads Hey if you had to judge a suburb by the tyre marks on the road there,d be nowhere to live lol. (a great aussi pastime which also includes parking your vehicle in someones front room lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
