Two things to note: firstly, this area is now much more established than the satellite map suggests. All the grey sandy areas are now filled with nice new houses and their tiny tiny gardens. Secondly, it has all the wanky new types of road (same as any other road) that replaced 'Street', 'Avenue' and 'Way' with things like 'Approach', 'Meander', 'Link' and the worst, 'Vista'.
Putting all that aside, Harrisdale right now is a rather nice place to live by the looks of it. A waterway cuts through it flanked with walking paths that are well used by this new community. Plus there's Baker's House, a beautiful stone and timber function facility and community centre. Overall, as with Champion Lakes, we have a place with man-made water features and communal green areas at the heart of it, some back lanes (which are nifty) and underground power. My same gripes with tiny blocks that give people no land but plenty of house still stand. But as mentioned, it brings people out into the streets and gets them interacting. You win some, you lose some.
Right now, this and Piara Waters next to it are the fastest growing suburbs in Australia.
Oh and I'm halfway to my goal of 1000 streets!
