Vanessababa 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2020 Need a little advice please What are your thoughts on Secret Harbour as a suburb to raise a 12 year old? Looking at different areas in WA and I really like the look of Secret Harbour. What are the employment opportunities like? My background is Call Center Management/Business Development Management. Would it be too far to commute to Perth? Any advice more than welcome and thank you all in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NorthumbrianDavid 16 Report post Posted July 3, 2020 We were based in Secret Harbour for our 3 week reccie. I really liked the place. It had a nice feeling and has a decent restaurant in the Whistling Kite. It's a short drive to Mandurah where we spent fair bit of time, although it's got a mixed reputation. It'll probably take you an hour to drive to the CBD, which isn't too bad if you can work from home a couple days a week. The car parks at the train stations are rammed at peak times. The properties are really cheap to buy/rent compared with the northern suburbs. Not sure about schools but you can check out the rankings here https://www.watoday.com.au/national/western-australia/wa-school-atar-ranking-2019-how-did-your-school-perform-in-2019-20200108-p53psl.html .

Vanessababa 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2020 Aw thank you so much for the reply, much appreciated. I am torn between Adelaide and Perth so looking into different areas, although I really like the look of Secret Harbour and the school reviews on the link you sent me are really good. If you dont mind me asking where did you end up living? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorthumbrianDavid 16 Report post Posted July 5, 2020 One thing to mention - I got a completely different feel of the suburbs when driving around them to researching online. Different at night to through the day as well. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
