A simple no is the answer but to elaborate, the first answer is accurate. When we moved here I was dubious about that same thing. We found a nice little cottage on a very quiet street, literally 3 minutes walk from Belmont Forum Shopping Centre, bus stops all in the same area stopping at the Forum. The Belmont Tavern is a 3 minute stroll away too and a very nice meal they serve there! Beers good too! Oats Street Train Station is about 7 minutes bus ride away, that works out well. Honestly every time I think about it I find it hard to see the down side. There is a lot of industrial areas in Kewdale but if you hold out you will find a good property for a decent price in an area where everything is really at your doorstep.
