Leeming

[ali]

Leeming is South of the River, it is approx 14/17 km from the City. It's an older suburb and there aren't alot of new builds, people tend to renovate here. Its mostly middle income families.

 

Half of Leeming falls into the City of Cockburn and half in the City of Melville

Median House prices are approx $550,000

 

Nearest train station is Murdoch and it takes about 10 mins by train into the city. 45 mins to Mandurah by Train. Approx 30 mins to the international/domestic airport. 15 mins to Coogee beach, 20 mins to South Beach and Fremantle.

 

3 state Primary schools, Banksia Park, Leeming Primary and West Leeming (all good reputations), one state High School which includes an educational support centre. They also have an academic extension programme for gifted and talented students. There are private Primary and Secondary Schools in Bateman, Bull Creek and Murdoch.

 

We've lived here 2 years, we've found it a nice neighbourhood with a low crime rate, it's convenient to most things.

 

There's a small shopping forum on the doorstep, woolies/coles are 5 - 10 min drive away at Bull Creek, Southlands (also a cinema) and Kardinya. Garden City shopping centre is about 10 -15 mins drive away.

 

There is a recreation centre, but this is currently under dispute as to if the council or education dept will run it. Lakeside Recreation centre is 10 mins away.

Thanks for this Ali. We'e hoping to move across to WA in December, and although manged to narrow it down to just a few suburbs (both NOR & SOR) we're still not sure where we're heading to.

 

One of our biggest priorities is schools. We've got a 7 and a 13 year old so both primary and high schools are important to us. I've read along the way that most primary schools are good and it's the high schools that we need to look in to more?

That's what I've heard too ... only really experienced the two in our area which the children go to, but my next door neighbour is a teacher at one of the others.
