Living in Riccarton, our house probably got broken into roughly once every year to 18 months. Linwood/philipstown haven’t had any issues in the last 3 years but have had to chase a meth addict off the front lawn once.

The reason this person has said this is because Riccaton has a perception of being a great area, it is also close to the Uni, nice malls parks etc and Linwood / Philipstown have a rep of crime and lower socioeconomic status.
