We also moved from Inner City to Darch and love the area. Compared to inner city living, its nice not to be surrounded by houses with 2 metre high walls (& still feel safe) and I cannot believe how quiet it is at night (and I haven't noticed any difference since the Tavern opened and I am only a block back). I haven't had any syringes thrown over my fence, drunks come past in the middle of the night riding trolleys down the street, and my house hasn't been graffiti'd (all which happened every weekend inner city).

The primary school is fantastic too. Yes, there is a lot of street work in progress at the moment, but I can see progress - it will be good when Mirrabooka Drive is opened to ease some of the congestion caused by Hepburn Ave (my only complaint!).
