    Dulwich Hill / Summer Hill / Ashfield

    If you are not familiar with the suburb you are focusing, I would normally contact a few real estate agents and asking if there is any local spots (or streets) 'less desireble' to live. They normally provide some clues. I used to get this information from local police stations or local...
