"Safe and Sound"

Nice, small, close community. Everybody seems happy with their place in life. Quite a relaxed, casual atmosphere. Very pleasant area, close to good shops and schools. Not too far from the city. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
Pros
  • Family-Oriented
  • Safe
  • Friendly neighbourhood
Cons
  • Lack of fast public transport

"Northern suburb close to huge parklands."

Noranda is a leafy suburb 6 kms to the north of Perth. Close to Whiteman Park which is over 100 acres of bush, parklands and lakes ideal for barbeques and picnics, Noranda has some fine stately homes in the upper price range. The shopping facilities here are excellent with large centres offering everything from supermarkets and food courts to department and specialty stores and boutiques. There are excellent medical centres as well as your choice of hospital in the neighbouring suburbs. There are any number of allied health services such as physio and occupational therapists, optometrist, dentists etc. being so close to the city centre there is an unlimited choice of educational options both state and private with TAFE colleges nearby. Apart from Whiteman Park with its many features there are many playing fields, recreation centres and other sporting venues in Noranda and surrounding suburbs for your entertainment. There are also a number of cinemas, clubs and hotels with live entertainment and restaurants and cafes. The area has something to offer most people, those who prefer the suburbs as opposed to those who love a night on the town or a major shopping fix.
