Many people in the Perth metro area consider Armadale to be a rough sort of place. People who actually live in the City of Armadale (and know better) might consider the Girraween St general area to be a rough place. I can confirm that if you walk around there on a sunny Sunday morning, that's absolutely not the case.
Sure, there are a couple of houses with boarded up windows and a few places that nearly break the record for most crappy old cars parked out the front (the record on my adventures is eight by the way, and this walk maxed out at six) but all in all I've seen worse.
Reg Williams reserve is great park, and a bunch of new houses are going up where the old West Armadale shops (Coles et al) used to stand. See the pic below. Urban renewal is happening slowly but surely, and there are still some historic properties around to check out.
