Russ and claire :) Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 We have a friend in Joondalup who we hope to live near when we move to Perth, just wondering what the area is like for children, schools and rent prices. Thank you This is a re-post as the previous title didn't make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaynBev Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 We live within 5mins drive of lakeside Shopping Centre down by the ECU University. We see lots of people with families round here, the centre itself has a range of stuff including a cinema which is great. Plus its one of the few places open on a Sunday. You have Joondalup lake itself if you like going for bike rides, walks, playing on the swings (maybe more for the kids) and BBQs/picnics. Rentals seem to fluctuate from $400 to $600 depending upon what you are looking for & where. Sorry cant help on the schools as we dont have kids but the people round here seem happy & talk about them as being nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot01 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 It's a nice area - might depend on where you are working though - if you get a job south of the river then the commute wouldn't be too much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynzee Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I have been jumping ahead with planning and been looking at this area too, we are a family of 5 and it seems to have lots to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurahaylor Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hi, Me and my otherhalf have just spent 3 weeks in Joondalup to activate our visa and we loved it. Its close to the beach, national parks and 25min drive to the city. It seemed to have good bus and rail connections and it is defenetly some where we would like to move to. We dont have any children, so I cant help you with schools, but it did seem to be very child freindly. :notworthy:Hope it helps xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
