Armadale , Perth
Just wondered if anyone out there knows anything about Armadale ( the pros and cons ) looking to move out later this year and the house prices dont look to prohibitive but have no idea on the area. Have heard varying reports from "dont even go there" to " nice area within hitting distance of the city".
Appreciate any feedback

Re: Armadale , Perth
I find it ironic that this suburb, which has such a bad reputation for hoons and yobbos, was, in the 50's and 60's, what the Northern Suburbs are today; the preferred area for newly-arrived migrants from the UK.
Certainly it has more than its share of young unemployed (predominantly white) young people, but these are most often the descendants of the original settlers.
Will the Northern Suburbs have the same reputation in 50 years? It's food for thought!

Not sure about Armdale but Guildford is a nice place, When I've visted Perth I have always gone to the Guildford Tavern and also a little burger bar across road its an amazing place if you are ever round there.

Take a look at the crime stats for the suburb compared to more expensive suburbs. Its cheap for a reason.

Re: Armadale , Perth
Guildford is nice. I'd live there but apparently it used to be very rough. Armadale is a different story. Sure there is a lot of investment going in there and the government is trying to improve it but as the rougher elements are pushed out of the inner city areas such as Maylands (also used to be very rough), they are going to move to areas like Amadale. I think you would need a lot of balls to invest in Armadale.
