Default Perth !!!!!!

Hi everyone Looking at Real Estate the other day for areas around or close to Perth and particuarly liked the look of a couple
the first was Mindarie and the other Hillarys the question is does anyone out there know anything about these areas mainly for schools,shops health centre etc. Are they classed as good areas?

Any information would be much appreciated .
Cheers Gaynor

Hi,

Out of the 2 I would opt for Hilarys..............We have friends in Mindarie and it is a bit too far from the city for us.

I would have thought that Hilarys would be a bit pricey, but thats just a guess. We too are hoping to head that way, the furthest I am looking at is Kinross

Hello there we are in Hillarys, been here for 16 months now we like it here . Daughter goes to Hillarys primary and loves it , she is in yr 7 so graduates to high school end of this year , son goes to duncraig senior high yr 9 he loves it to . There is a private school st.marks i think it is around by whitfords shopping centre. Lowest priced property we have seen lately is about $289,000 older style house. I think ocean reef and hillarys are quite on par with each other at the moment ans we like them both also kallaroo and mullaoo are both nice i think .

Thats Great! its good to hear of someone with children actually living there.
The schools sound really good as it is so important that the children are happy and getting a good education a load off your mind no doubt.We have 1 five year old who is in reception over here in the uk and a baby who is 17 months hoping to come to Oz sometime next year.We are in the early stages of migrating at present waiting to hear on hubbies skills from the Tra main application documents and evidence nearly complete.The migration agent has told us it is not unrealistic to hope to get our visas through by mid 2005.,so we shall see.
Are you fairly close to the Ocean?
Have you been able to find work okay?
Do you love living in Western Australia?

Sandra, your post made me chuckle, I live in Mindarie & have good friends in Kinross which is about a 5 minute drive away!
Hubby commutes to the City & says it's the furthest he'd want to travel. The nearest train station is Currambine but it's extending north to Clarkson later this year.
Kinross is a nice area too with Primary school & Kinross college, no proper shops - just a general store, Drs, few take aways etc & bit further inland but house prices are lower. Ocean Keys shopping centre is a 5 min drive away in Clarkson.

We like Mindarie, plenty of shops around, right on the coast, pub etc. It has a very good Primary school - up to Y7. There are also two private schools Peter Moyes & Quinns Baptist which go right through from Kindy.

If you've got any ???? about Mindarie feel free to PM me

Best wishes

loopy

Hi Sandra
Our 13 year old (nearly 14) has been going to Ocean Reef High school for the last year and loves it, she has made lots of friends and would hate to go back to school in the U.K. We also have 2 boys in Beaumaris primary school (ages 4 and 6 ) they both love it and the school is excellent. The schools are slower here and when we arrived the children all seemed to be doing work they had already done in England but apparently that all evens out throughout their school life. If you find the world school reports Australia are generally in the top 5 and the u.k only at about 10 in results etc.Schooling was my main concern here but not worried about it at all now, the quality of life is absolutely wonderful, we are out most of the time now and in the u.k it was always wet and too cold to do anything.
There are alot of negative posts on the site that are worrying to people thinking about moving here but the good ones outweigh the bad!!
