twinsmom65 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hello, I live in The Vines, in beautiful Swan Valley, so I thought I would also include Ellenbrook, Aveley and Henley Brook, as basically we are all next to each other. All of the above mentioned suburbs are located in Swan Valley, located approx 22km from the CBD. We are about 20 mins from Midland and 30 mins from Morley for big shopping. We do have the shops at Ellenbrook, which currently have a Woolworths, Best for Less, 3 women's clothes shops, a surf shop, ANZ bank, payless shoes and a discount shop along with a barbers and a hairdressers. Phase 2 of The Shops at Ellenbrook is slated to start this year and will include a Big W and about another 20 stores. There is a state high school in Ellenbrook (Ellenbrook Secondary College) as well as 2 private high schools (Ellenbrook Christian College in Ellenbrook and Swan Valley Anglican school in Aveley)... there are numerous new primary schools throughout Ellenbrook. The Vines is the oldest of the suburbs.... most blocks here are around the 1 acre size, although there are some smaller blocks in the newer part of The Vines. It is a private estate and alot of the houses back onto the 2 golf courses. It is a quiet suburb with a real rural feel about it... quite common to see kangaroos on peoples front lawns here. Prices range from $400k for a townhouse to $2.5 million. Ellenbrook is a relatively new suburb... growing all the time... there are different villages located within Ellenbrook... Woodlake is the oldest it is approx 25 years old... some nice streests, some not so nice...The Bridges is a nice area with a mediteranean feel about it. Charolttes Vineyards is a newer area... nice houses. Coolamon is another new area along with Malvern Springs. House prices in Ellenbrook range from $350k to $650k. Henley Brook and Aveley are located next to Ellenbrook, Henley Brook is older than Aveley, both are private estates. Prices range from $400k to $1 million (for the larger equistrian estates in Henley Brook). We are surrounded by vineyards here in Swan Valley, we literally have about 50 vineyards on our doorstep. Along with fresh produce. We do get a little hotter here, as we don't get the freemantle doctor.... typically temps are on average about 4 degrees hotter here than Perth.

Mongrel Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 thanks for the info we hope to move ellenbrook way aug 09. The Vines and Ellenbrook are very different areas , the vines backin on to the golf courses is well established and upmarket , no community housing there . Ellenbrook is springing up along with its neighbour Aveley. There are lots of new stages going up, and in aveley the community buids are 1 for 2 ( this is info given buy builders ) . Ellenbrook has been decribed as remote by otherr residents on here .We have friends in Jane brook in the swan valley further down near the wineries and not far from Midland gate . and kalamunda in the hills . Oh felt it was isolated at Ellenbrook and a different feel to lower Swan and the vines , plus you have to see wher your employment is as there is no uick route or regular public transport. Ellenbrook is actually 40 km from the CBD travelling by car dunno by helicopter Mally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ozcans Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I agree Mally, We visited Ellenbrook and didn't like it as much as other areas. Sue x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinsmom65 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Living in The Vines, I am only 5 minutes to Ellenbrook... will be even closer to Aveley once they open up Millhouse Road. We are very close to the wineries.... The Vines is off West Swan Road, where most of the wineries are. Also there are wineries on Great Northern Highway heading towards Midland. I would love to buy in The Vines... but it is out of our price range... so we are looking at Aveley or Ellenbrook. I don't have a problem with either of those places. I enjoy it out here, not everyone's cup of tea, but as soon as we came out to this area, it felt like home to us and reminded us alot of Canada. We are not beach people, and don't mind a 40 minute drive to the beach... we can always go for just the day... plus with both of us working we don't get to go to many places during the week anyways. Also my girls are doing really well in school here in Ellenbrook... they have settled in well, made friends and are doing great in their courses. My girls are happier here than if we had stayed in Clarkson... they hated Clarkson High School... and they only went for a visit... ended up in tears after the interview with the VP. So all in all we are Swan Valley people. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
