Its not as "dodgy" as some other places in Launceston - but its certainly not the best place to live - it has a reserve at the end of the road that probably has a tendency to attract druggos and dealers and stuff, but I figure you keep your head down and get on with life, people are less likely to annoy you

And yes I have insisted on a security system and crim mesh stuff on the windows if we get this place. And we do have a dog, although perhaps we need a bigger dog than a beagle.. LOL

And to give an idea - the more expensive house would be around $260,000 - and the cheaper one around $215,000 - so not a huge amount of difference, but it would be in weekly repayments for us - we could nearly pay double on the cheaper one, plus still go up to Queensland to visit family a few times a year.
