I lived in a neighboring suburb for around 8 years, then in Kingswood for around 3 years. Although I will admit that on the outskirts of Kingswood there are some nice spots, probably 50% of the area isn't bad at all, in fact there are even a few nice spots tucked away. But Kingswood is well known to people of the western suburbs to be a bit of a rough area. By rough I mean there are a lot of drug users, drugs dealers, thugs, criminals and just alot of people with low moral standards in certain parts of town. There is also a brothel at the main row of shops, which is a few doors down from the local chemist and take away lol. It is one of those areas that has both good and bad points. Also as stated in previous posts, not safe to walk around at night, particularly near the train station which is a crime hot spot. Good cheap accommodation around for students of the nearby uni or TAFE.
