Wel good luck with buying, the house next to me just got robbed the other day and its over a million dollar home so the area has not changed just more people with nothing to do but live off welfare, and who really cares about the nigt life there is more to living here than the night life but if thats all you have in your life enjoy.
The residents vary to very high income to the low income, Maylands is a very old area and some of the young peole as you put it need to know that, its not party central, once again cant wait to move to a better area and just rent this place out it will never change you can dress it up but its still Maylands

I think comparing it to Claremont, Floreat and City Beach it's likely always going to come up short. Those areas are between 3-5x the price of your median price in Maylands. You're comparing apples to oranges.

Maylands isn't party central, but as I pointed out it's close to the arteries and a lot of people really dig what's going on in Mt Lawley these days.

There are homes here as nearly as expensive to the good areas in Perth but you never get rid of the huge amount of low income people here who have no respect act like fools, ask for money in the streets I am so glad I have moved back to where I lived for years went to school etc I thought I would give Maylands a chance I purchase an expensive home in Maylands, but it makes no difference it will always be Maylands with its horrible flats, and word dig what is that are will still living in the 70 s and alot of people who have lived here for along time dont like the chnage the burn outs in the street the high amount of homes suject to damage due to break ins, enjoy living here sounds like you will fit right in and really DIG it, but some of us dont have to put up with it and can afford to live in another suburb a much better one and I dont think they use the word dig

Just a suggestion : if you are going to try and denigrate people people based on class and turn of phrase, you may want to get your grammar and spelling in order.

As for pricing; I was talking about median pricing not maximal pricing. If an area's median price is 3x that of another it suggests the general affluence of the people there to obviously be higher. The fact that you can buy an expensive home in Maylands is just another sad indictment of the lack of merit based pay in society and specifically WA. Maybe you came into the money through family though which would probably make your bigotry understandable.

The rest of your response doesn't really warrant reply.

Yes we are,we both come from money and dont give a stuff what people like you think who sound like they come from the working class background, god knows why we built a home on the river, with the land costing just under a million dollars and then the home on top of that.

But now we live in an area where its safe and the people in the area actually work.

And frankly we dont care what the lower end of the scale think, we dont have too and never will, nor will our children.

But enjoy Maylands sounds like you will fit in very well

A bigotry way of thinking just love it and we dont care

I'm reasearching potential places to go to in and around Perth and I must say IITTALIA you sound like an insufferable, pretentious snob.

IITTALA - you honestly are making me second guess my move to Perth at all; you are not the kind of person that people new to an area want to meet. From the look of your last comment, you're quite aware that you're an arrogant snob, so why bother leaving a comment for the common person to read in the first place? Surely we are all well below you.

I hope to be able to get an objective opinion of the place as it is now. Not based on the extreme experience of anyone. Can anyone help? Maylands sounds really close to the city and with some promise of an interesting suburbia. One question - IITTALA makes Mayland sound very creepy and filled with walking zombies. Is it really true? Or is it not? I'd appreciate some good input and help. I'm new.

Lol someone pleeeeease school IITTALIA in the correct use of commas, I'm out of breath reading their hilarious "middle class white" response. P.S I DIG Maylands, baby!

I grew up in maylands & left in my teens, i can say one thing, Maylands has improved a hell of alot in all areas, ive just moved back to the area and love it, im actually living in the same street i grew up in..
Maylands has come a long way since i was growing up, id recommend this suburb to anyone, close to everything, trains, shops & the city to name a few, very central & the people are helpful & friendly..
