Coffeekid

We have lived down near the river in Maylands for 6 years. We still can't believe how beautiful it is and can't understand why the area is underrated. We have the river on three sides with beautifully maintained open areas, walk and cycleways to the city and beyond, a closeness to nightlife and casual dining spots, and a bus service that gets you into the city within minutes. We can walk to the golf course, ride a bike to South Perth and have coffee, kayak up the river and barbecue late afternoons when other are still fighting peak hour. Tranby house for teas and snacks, kids water park...the list goes on. This is the way inner city living should be.

There is no doubt that there are some units and old houses that need to go, or are in desperate need of overhaul, but what suburb doesn't have these? New developments are happening and these will replace those "what were they thinking when they designed those" type units.
