I've never witnessed any crime and don't know anyone who has, so a 1 star rating for safety is crazy. Cost of living only 2 stars?? It's the 2nd cheapest suburb in Melbourne!!!!!!!! I would of changed my shopping rating as I forgot they had a plaza somewhere, but I won't as your ratings above are tanked up for your own benefit. People in Melbourne need to get over themselves!
The West There are many areas ALL over Melbourne which leave a lot to be desired Price tags HIGH What has happened to Melb in the last 8 years!! Werribee is what it is I am a local having lived in werribee for 50 years. I have seen it go from a quiet country town where you knew everyone and felt safe to what it is today.
There are hardly any trees. A few years ago the council decided they didn't want them on nature strips. The traffic is horrendous. Try getting into werribee from Wyndham vale during peak hour. They are building new estates on land that has always flooded. There are so many different races now and they are all forming gangs.
There are so many drugs. My mum won't even go into the main street alone any more as she does not feel safe. I left werribee for a smaller safer place. I go there to visit friends and I don't regret my move at all. I moved here 9 months ago, expecting the place to be a typical suburban area. Everyone that walks up my street looks like they haven't had a shower in 10 days. And I'm not going to talk about the hoons, the poor quality of the houses and the atrocious deployment of Covid-related health services.
With the Extortionate prices that a reasonable lifestyle comes at, well Werribee is pretty good value for money. I lived in Hoppers for decades and went to Werribee inc the boat ramp many many times. I am now interstate, but I have some relatives there, one of which was burgalled twice in 1 year in Tyrone Street..
It only takes a few of these events to go off a place, and it looks like the scumbags have moved into the area.
They would not go to Toorak, or Kew, because the rent is very high.. So they end up stealing from ordinary working strugglers like most Western Suburb people. So due to Werribee's attractuions, there also some real "dogs' living in your neighbourhood. What a complete load of Rubbish! Melbournites know how to Drive? What an amazing generalisation - people don't steal in Toorak etc!
I have lived in Werribee my whole life, and it is really starting to boom! It's cleaning up its act and getting serious. Crime isn't all that high as what it used to be, and it is becoming much more civilised, peaceful and respectable.
Living in Werribee is like living near the coast Werribee South beach , living rural lots of farm land and countryside , and living near the city cafes, restaurants, shopping. It will be redeveloped so it will become double the size, so it will be like Highpoint. The main street, Watton Street, is lined with trees and cafes which overlook the Werribee river. The people are some of the friendliest I have ever met.
There's some great events that go on in Werribee such as the Weerama street parade with games and rides , Werribee Racecourse Market, Twilight Cinema at Werribee Park, and other events. There's also the Wyndham Leisure and Events Centre, so there's a real sense of community here and you can't really get bored.
Werribee is only mins by train to both Geelong and Melbourne. Though the public transport in Werribee is not all that great, but still not bad. There are plans to develop Werribee more including the Wedge Street Piazza google that! It's certainly a developing suburb and I think people ought to give Werribee a chance. It is genuinely moving on from the western suburbs stigma and is definitely becoming a more attractive suburb to live and work.
I moved to Werribee in in one of the newer estates. When I told people that I'm moving to Werribee a lot of people were saying things like "Oh my God, it's so dangerous there! I actually like Werribee, I've moved a lot throughout my life including various suburbs within Melbourne and even New South Wales and Queensland, I think Werribee is better than most of the places I've lived in.
Especially with the location! Located halfway between Melbourne and Geelong you have the advantage when it comes to choice and variety. Being classed as on the outskirts is also good, because you have the suburban lifestyle, yet its easy to get away from all the hustle and bustle and just go see what rural Victoria has to offer.
Public transport was improved in , by adding extra trains to the Werribee line which has trains every ten or so minutes on weekdays while other lines apart from Sandringham don't have that advantage and have trains every twenty minutes to half an hour. Werribee is pretty big there are plenty of primary schools around and three main high schools. Shopping is easy, you have Werribee plaza, Watton Street also known as main street with the locals and a few extra smaller shopping centres within the newer estates such as Tarneit and Wyndham Vale.
Nightlife is a bit meh, you have Mynt Lounge on Watton street which is pretty good for a cheap night out and close to home and there is also Volt which is right at the plaza behind the tabaret. There are two main libraries, and plenty of parks and nature strips especially surrounding the Werribee river, and the open range zoo is towards Werribee south..
Furthermore, traffic isn't much of an issue, the freeway is great and the backroads will lead you to other western suburbs such as Melton, Deer Park, Laverton, Sunshine If you actually read the crime stats you will find that Werribee has far more crime offences than that of any other suburb in Wyndham, offences.
Hoppers being second with offences, and more than doubling third Point Cook, offences. Using Wyndhams crime statistics to represent Werribee is dumb. Especially since there are suburbs such as Williamslanding and Truganina that have very low crime rates.
I was born and raised in Werribee, and I know there will be some people who will disagree with me saying that it is "peaceful". It's really only around the train station where you will frequently see a group of teenagers smoking, but doesn't necessarily mean they are doing anything wrong.
Or there might be a group of teenagers who walk around the streets at night, but mind their own business, like they do around my street. I have never had any problems when it comes to crime. I have never once in my whole life living in Werribee, felt unsafe, which is good.
Werribee is quite large, and downtown there are plenty of shops - clothing, cafes, take-away, restaurants, etc. Werribee is growing rapidly and there are plenty of jobs around without having to travel into the city each day. We are about minutes train ride, or minutes drive from the city. The plaza will soon expand its size to become like Highpoint. There's the Werribee River if you want to go canoeing and exploring. The western suburbs tend to have a bad reputation, but I think those are mostly inner-western, and western suburbs.
Werribee is in the south west. I think the further out you go, the safer and more peaceful it is. All in all, Werribee is safe, great for families, cheap, and is half way between Melbourne and Geelong. Werribee about two decades ago was filled with predominantly 'white' low income families trying to make ends meet or were cashed up farmers; mostly 2nd-3rd generation immigrants who resided in Werribee South.
The community has certainly diversified with lots of Australians from different backgrounds making Werribee its home. Today its location as well as the Governments injection of allocated funds, make it one of the fastest growing suburbs in Melbourne. It is due to have a new Marina set up similar to the one in Williamstown with cafes and restaurants. It is only minutes away from the city and the upgraded Freeway has four lanes to drive down in peak hour traffic.
There will be a new train line in the area in the next couple of years. There are certainly more cafes and restaurants and no longer is there just the choice of Italian food, with an increase in Middle Eastern restaurants, Indian and Asian food. There is also lots of shops with Indian and Afghan spices, and others that cater to Tongan or Asian tastes. Plenty of Halal butchers and several suppermarkets in the area. Plenty to do with the kids: there is Werribee Park and Mansion, 'the river', Werribee beach, 'the Plaza' and cinemas, boasts two libraries, a nice walk down the main street with an ice cream treat.
Hairdressers in the area are actually quite good comparred to other suburbs I have been to. Its not a fashion precinct so you will need to drive about 25 minutes to Highpoint or city if you like fashion labels and variety. I was born and raised in Werribee for the last 26 years. I have lived all around Werribee and this is my opinion In regards to job opportunities, schooling, medical needs etc Werribee fortunately has it all!
Retail therapy and shopping Werribee is also idea for, the Werribee Plaza has it all! The other plus is it is very easy and reasonably quick for a trip into the CBD.
Now for the negative.. Werribee is far from a safe area. There are alot of drugs, violence and hang abouts. Its not a town that I would ever let my children play outside unless under my complete supervision.
You do get this in every town how ever I do believe it is very bad here and with the police shortage which is not set to get any better anytime soon I would not reccommend moving to werribee in hope of a fun, friendly family enviroment.
I will also add that i believe Werribee is an ivestors dream location. Its is growing bid and fast! We have always lived inner city, After starting a family and wanting a good size house for a reasonable price we decided to rent a house in werribee near the plaza, needless to say we loved the area convenience of facility's and shopping so we bought our home here only draw back is the commute into the city but we are getting used ti it.
I worked there is and we used to go the store and find someone broke intro it..
