Thanks Scotland Alarm.I've never met a uni student that lives in Kardinya other than one that still lives at home. It's not Karawara/Vic Park or Nedlands but it makes sense there would be students living there.
As to why you would live there you could say the same about most Perth suburbs. It has its pros and cons, but most importantly it is riff raff friendly. I have friends there and they have a family home on a big block (8-900 sqm). The same property in Melville, Booragoon, Bateman would be $1m+.
