Aubin Grove is a diamond in the rough! Just off the Kwinana freeway, the premium estates like The Sanctuary are far enough away to not even know the freeway's there. The area is quiet with the estates seemingly designed to minimise through traffic. Parks and playgrounds are a PLENTY and riding from one park to another is a favourite past-time of the kids.
Infrastructure has been lacking in past years being a newish suburb, but the new primary school opens in 2011 and there's a medical centre, chemist, physiotherapist, IGA (opening soon) etc. all within walking distance. For that matter, all of this infrastructure, and more is in the next door suburb, Atwell, if you feel like a short drive. Gateway shopping centre is also only 5 minutes up the freeway which is pretty convenient.
Public transport in the area is superb. The 527 bus runs regularly through the suburb linking to the Cockburn Central train station and Gateways Shopping Centre. The train trip to the city is only 20 minutes! And the city shuttle train that starts at Cockburn Central is completely empty EVERY morning. Pick your seat!
The Kwinana cycle path is also right on your doorstep and is really smooth and quiet early in the morning. The coffee shop on the water at Deep Water Point in Mt Pleasant is only 18km away... an decent coffee ride! Or there's coffee shops up at Cockburn Central if a 5km ride is more your style!
Some of the homes in the area really have the best of both worlds. The estates are hemmed in by acerage and bush. The houses along the back of The Santuary for example on Cape Range Crescent and Grampian Crescent look out over the acerage bush to the east and there's a lot of homes built right on the parks for great views. There's not too many places in Perth, let alone Australia, where you can have the best of both worlds... living in a city suburb with all the infrastructure and conveniences that go with it, but have some of the best of the bush right on your doorstep... peace and quiet and greenery!
