Clarendon Vale, TAS 7019

im not sure how old those reviews are below.. but over the last few years, with this increased property prices its a whole new crowd. i find it very friendly and family focused.

Over the 3 years I lived in Clarendon Vale, my house was broken into on three separate occasions and each time quite an array of expensive stuff was stolen. My insurance company up'd the cost of my contents insurance each time to which they also stated that due to the high theft and crime rate in Clarendon Vale this is another reason that my policy for insurance is also higher than other places in Hobart. Please do your research before moving into a place full of unemployed, unfriendly, housos.

I lived here for 10 with my family. I have had my car stolen and burnt out. My cars have been smashed in my drive way by my next door neighbor. My boat stolen. My husband bashed. Stubbies pelted at my window where my 5 year old son was looking out. The roads are covered in rubber from burn outs. Even had my house burnt down. That I was buying. My 6 kids couldn't play in there back yard as. Kids would throw rocks at them and mouth off. I have never see anywhere as disguising as this place and I have see most of the mainland.

I would stay well clear of this suburb.

Obviously, not all residents of Clarendon Vale are bad eggs, however, It's not rare to get the occasional hooning and the casual domestic violence dispute around midnight on weekends. Sometimes these can occur nightly. However, the people over at the neighbourhood centre really make this suburb a community-centred area

Regardless of the other posts, I have lived here nearly six years and the only trouble I have ever had is from people who do not live in the suburb. It is very family orientated and nearly everyone knows everyone. Never had a problem with bmx gangs, in fact, most kids get off the footpath if they see someone coming their way. There are more than one way in and out, street maps are great things. We have great internet access as well, and can access from our brought (not stolen) pc's. I have seven neighbours in total, all but one (who is a stay at home mum I think) have jobs. We live here because it is a descent size house and yard and for half of the cost of other suburbs, a great place to start out and for first home buyers. Sure there are some bad people, but you get that in even the best suburbs. I have never had a run in with anyone, people know my children's names, keep an eye out for them and say hello to you even if they don't know you that well. This suburb just needs to be given a chance.

At best, if you HAVE to live down there (and I feel sorry for those who have to), mind your own business, and you MIGHT be alright! Otherwise, don't carry personal belongings, expensive things around. Because it is a very good place for high crime rates (muggings, physical/verbal abuse, drug abuse/selling, other recreational underworld dealings).
Hooning, loud music and high crime rates mean you are not going to get peace and quiet down there. So look after yourself, stay safe and secure, because they are a law unto their own down there, as I do not know of any close police stations down there!
Most live on Centrelink benefits, are dole bludgers or are single mothers. Bad place to raise a family. Either that was the way they were brought up or they're just sick in the head. Honestly.
Also keep a very narrow-minded view of things as well. Around 99.99% of the population have been in prison, and the other .01% who have not is because numbers scare people off from even dobbing them in!
In other words...stay away. Any locals reading this would have stolen a PC from somewhere so watch out!
Many get money from drug dealings and selling out as a job. A high amount of underworld dealings go down there, and many crimes are not investigated because some do think they are above the law, and quite possibly are too because of potential retribution as there is a one-in, all-in pack, mob thing!

Personally I think Clarendon vale is great.... for theft and being mugged. Clarendon vale is a suburb you do not want to live in. My best friend lives there and numerous times has been beaten stolen from or scared stiff. It is quite a filthy place and not friendly.

If you value your vehicle and or your life it is not recommended to visit or live here, but if it is un-avoidable such as if your are looking for your mothers stolen car then make sure that all doors are locked and windows shut. Make sure that you are always aware of your surroundings as the mini bmx biker gangs have been known to strike at any time, muggings can take place over anything even a bag of hot chips as a friend of mine discovered.
