Re: JOONDALUP- Feedback Warmly appreciated
Joondalup city (if you could call it that! 
) is a new place with banks and restaurants a plenty. There are a few shops, but not many. There are also a few bars which become a little dodgy at night.
Joondalup as a suburb; there is the newer 'city' side which mainly consists of town houses and two storey places on postage stamp blocks. Then there is the older suburb which varies greatly dependant on where you live. Some roads are nice, others are a little tatty (sorry to anyone who lives there). Have a look on www.reiwa.com.au for prices. But please remember, the piccies on the internet may not give a true representation of the house (real estate agents tend to be a little over zealous in their descriptions!)
Joondalup Primary School; this has a fairly good reputation. Please remember that most (not all) children, once they need secondary school education, go on to private schools here in Perth. Lake Joondalup Baptist school (yes, all private schools are religious!) has a good reputation.
Joondalup lies about 30 mins north of the city (CBD) on a clear run, totally different at peak times. Lakeside shopping centre is just down the road.
Hope this helps.

thanks,
tell you what I have searched for previous threads on here, regards areas in Perth and I can honestly say, Im confused.
If you take, every comment, the whole of WA is a ghetto, with 98% british born speaking CHavs, on low wages, renting, and generally unhappy with too many flies, and blustery winds.
Thats not to take into account, fighting and kebab throwing after 11pm, high unemployment, racism, poor airport, still stuck in the 80's, expensive 2nd hand cars, too much beauracracy , no rentals available,
and too forget thats it boring and bland place , that is boring after 6 months. oh and it gets to 40 degC on xmas day and it doesn feel like xmas.
Im usually an upbeat person, but totally bewildered, but suppose I cant believe everything I read and hear....
