Hi,

My family and I are planning to move to Perth Aug/Sept this year and would be very interested to hear from anyone living in the Quinns Rocks area. We have 3 kids, 3, 5, and 15. I have been in touch with Quinns Baptiste College and am hoping they might have a place for my 15 yr old. I have heard that Quinns Rocks Primary is a good school, does anyone have any personal experience of these schools? I have heard mixed reviews on Quinns Rocks, (the suburb) so, would love to hear from anyone who is actually living there at the moment, is it a nice area to bring up kids? I know that people look for different things in an area but would just like to know if it is a good area in general. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Quinns is a funny suburb ... a real mixed bag.

Old Quinns has bags full of character but comes with a 'dodgy' side. Then there's new Quinns (coastal), terribly expensive and to be frank, overpriced.

Then there's Quinns, pretty good value and a fair suburb IMHO. Both schools are excellent by the way.

Go Mindarie ... it p*shes all over Quinns.

Your right Quinns is a mixed bag,but on the whole its a good suburb. The beach at Quinns is excellent. We have friends in Quinns who have lived there for about 5 years and have loved it. We've walked back from the marina late at night and it is quiet. However I was slightly inebriated (pished).
In my opinion its a good place to live. Also it must be one of the cheapest costal suburbs in Perth.

Quinns is fine in fact i'd go there over Mindarie , not that there's ap prob with there either. My wee bro n sis went to school there in the early nineties .
Our 8 yr old can't wait to go back to school there soon . You owe me a beer too.

Hi,

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. It sounds good to me. I guess there's good and bad everywhere.....hopefully more good than bad! Take care.

Makes I chuckle Aus good n bad , far removed from uk good n bad

What are commute times from those suburbs to Cottesloe?

40minutes to an hour depending on the traffic

I prefer Quinns also - more character and great beaches !

Yeah but it ain't got 'our' facilities ...

Cottesloe is great!

Indeed I do ...

When you coming back mate? Trusting the road to recovery is going good now fella?

The coldest pint of lager awaits your greasy little mits at the Boat on your arrival.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm somewhat debatable "facilities"

I live in that part of the world and Quinns is a coastal suburb. It was originally a small fishing village but due to Perth expanding it is quite a sizeable suburb. Theres the Old Quinns and the newer section-homes quite pricey. Quinns very close to beach- very popular in summer. The schools all generally have a good reputation. My teenagers go to the private school oposite Quinns Baptist. Mindarie is the next adjoining suburb and has a Marina.

It's a Date lol
