I used to live there about 4 years back. I was on the Lakes Estate side of Ballajura. Very safe, very good schools and shopping. For jobs, theres Malaga next door which is kind of a commercial/industrial kind of area.

Ballajura is very hit and miss.

Fozzy from here lives there, im sure he will have words to say.

On one side you have a suburb close enough to Perth, CBD, right next to the Malaga industrial area, plenty of schools around, etc, etc.

The flip side is that there copious reports on a lot of crime, issues with youth in the area etc etc.

I have a few mates who live in balla's (edit: the lakes area) and it seems pretty good. Pretty quiet sorta place. Schools are schools. Plenty in the area. According to my GF (whos a school teacher) some arent so good but others are.

If you cant get work in Malaga / Wangara / Wanneroo you seriously arent interested.

I was reading in the paper recently, one of the teachers at Ballajura Community College (High School) got a teacher of the year award or something and got a $100K cheque as a reward
