tonyman Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Joondalup itself is also worth a look, houses around $450k upqwards I think....close to everything...a good choice Im sure there is a small community of West council homes(around 100) at the top of Joondalup near the water tower as we looked there too but yes some good hoses around that area......

Guest Kate10 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Hi guys, I hope you don't mind if I hijack slightly with a question! We are moving over in two weeks and are looking for a long term rental in the northern suburbs. My husband will be working in Osborne Park. I have found some lovely houses in Tapping at a reasonable rent - unlike so many others they seem to be newish or recently renovated. I can see them on street view on google maps and the streets seem to be very nice and fairly established. I have only read good things about Tapping but can't help but wonder if it's too good to be true?? I haven't found anything like the choice of houses in any other suburb. Anyone have an opinion on Tapping generally? Thanks very much in advance for any advice! Kate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate. imo Tapping and new surrounding suburbs are concrete jungles , a complete lack of greenery but some like that, when we were in the uk we loved the sound of Carramar and the golf course within the suburb but when driving around the area there was too much concrete for us and houses are well too small and close ......a 12 yr old home will have more land and be well established with added privacy.........

Guest Kate10 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi guys, Thanks everyone for your advice - much appreciated! Tony I agree even online a lot of the houses seem to be built on very small plots for the size of the houses, so that the gardens are very small but to be honest that is kind of appealing for us! Our home in Ireland is fairly rural so it is big and we have a very big garden ....WAY too much grass to cut! It would be nice for a change to have something low maintenance! : ) We have very few public parks in Irish cities so to me looking at the map it seems like there are loads of green areas in Tapping and surrounding suburbs. So maybe its horses for courses!! Anyway good to know that there are no hidden horrors ...like an enormous dump or pig farm or something! Thanks again everyone, Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moirclan Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 ummm you didnt ask about pig farms etc , there isnt any pig farms but there is a ingrams chicken plant , and there is a mushroom farm rarely problems but occasionally if the wind blows wrong the mushroom farm can be putrid but in five years of working in the area id say id smelt it about a dozen times so not to bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmouse Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Padbury and Craigie are lovely family orientated areas and have parks and schools close by. I live in Craigie and love it. The park is down the road and the local shops are a five minute walk across the park. The big shops are a 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive and the beach is a five minute drive too. Hillarys is under 10 minutes drive away. And the train station is about a ten min drive too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markthespark Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 We're over for 2 weeks at the moment validating our visas, currently renting a 4x2 in butler. We love the modern feel of butler and the parks and lake, we are definitely looking at renting/hopefully buying in this area when we make the move. Saying that all the suburbs north of Joondalup seem very similar modern, lots of parks etc We have family friends who live in trigg and visited them last night, they have a beautiful 2 storey house with sea views. Now there's a nice place to live if your lotto numbers come up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
