"Fantastic upcoming suburb, just needs more cafes!"
Great location - about 10 mins to Fremantle, 15 mins to Perth. Close to some big retailers - Harvey Norman, Good Guys, other bedding/furniture stores, etc. And close to some smaller food retailers - IGA, bakeries, asian restaurants, etc. It does need some more quality cafe's, though... this is one thing we would love more of! But I think that will come in good time.
It's true there's some pockets of "dodgy"-looking houses and there is some public housing in the area, but this is fast changing. You can see the change taking place on many streets, where there are newly built/renovated houses with nicely finished front yards and nice cars.
There are certainly very nice streets too - Norkus Way, Hockin St, Cohn Ct, etc. You feel safe there and all the neighbouring houses look very decent with some awesome gardens that make me jealous!
Who lives here?
- Professionals
- Families with kids
- Retirees
Unfortunately Cafe's and the like don't do so well in this suburb because the clientelle can be too rough. You have to keep it really simple here. I always wanted to consider Willagee becoming the new Brentwood, but in all honesty, I can't see it happening. The Government own this suburb.
Obviously a real estate agent's review (or a glass half full with a happy pill).
