What areas in Tamworth are known to Crime?
My husband and I are considering moving to Tamworth in the near future with our 2 young sons so wish to be in a family friendly area that is close to the community and schools but away from the crime and valdalisum that i have heard about. I hope someone can help point me in the right direction as we will have to rent intially before possibly buying a home.

The crime in Tamworth is mostly opportunistic crime. Therefore it can happen anywhere in the city. However most of the crime is committed by people on foot. So any place that requires a drive would be less likely to be "hit". East Tamworth is OK, and any outer areas. Stay clear of South Tamworth around Robert Street, and west across the railway line. These areas are lower socio economic, and tend to harbor the criminals. it gives me no joy to tell you any of this...I love this great city and all it offers. I wouldn't let these bad eggs spoil it for you...they are in every sizable city.

I would agree with Johndr, stay away from anywhere near coledale and south tamworth near Robert st. Westdale may also have some Dodgey parts to it as well. I grew up in tamworth and now live in Sydney. If I were to live there again I would live in east/north tamworth or slightly out of town (Moore Creek) area. Calala area may also be good too but it's a bit out of the way from town.
