Re: Embelton perth
Not sure about Embelton but we have been in Bassendean which is pretty close for 5 months now.
Bassendean is nice, quite quiet but very friendly. Not much in the way of pubs, restaurants etc but not too far from Perth centre, and Guilford is nice for a drink and meal. People chat to you in the street and at the shops. Not so many Brits on this side of Perth.
We like it but we have a young child and no babysitters so going out is not an option for us anyway. I have found it an easy place to meet Mum's as long as you make the effort to go to groups. It is a bit of a backyard culture so I have found I have had to make the first move and invite people over but it has paid off and people have been keen to invite you back.
It depends what you are looking for.
Good luck anyway. Hope it works out for you.

Re: Embelton perth
Embletons nice. I have a friend who lives there and she's lived there years!!! I used to live in Ashfield!!! And that was a hell hole!!!!!! Couldn't leave your house at night time as there were gangs by the IGA!!! Very scary plus we got chased with baseball bats and a guy with a machete!!!!!! So we made a sharp exit out of that area!!!!!!!! Don't go to Ashfield train station at night!!
