"Good or bad??"
Ive lived here for about 4 years, yes we have been burgled (we left the back door open) and yes there are some homes west houses that need selling etc...but other than that, we are ten mins from the CBD, close to the river, have a good cafe strip, and the house prices are cheaper than most other suburbs this close to the City....Even Queens Park is about the same price, and I know where I would rather live.....the prices will fly up in the next property boom cycle....it reminds me very much of Karrinyup 17 years ago, with a mix of state and private housing, and then sub divisions etc.... The Cafe strip needs attention but that will come, and if you wait until everything is done then you wont find it cheap to buy, I think because people see aboriginal people, they then expect trouble, well this is not the case as most people black or white are decent, we love St James, and so do many many many other people

You could not even PAY me to live in that hell hole again. Constant break-ins, undesirables, Homes West housing with anti-social neighbours and terrible schools. It's dirty, ugly, and depressing. Run away! Especially do not consider the Bentley/St. James area if you have children- it is very unsafe. Add a comment...
Hello, I am thinking of moving to St. James. Seeing how much you love it there, what street would you say is the best to live in?
