The suburb of Maylands is characterised by its sense of heritage and cultural diversity. With proximity to public transport, the river, pedestrian, bicycle and road networks, Maylands affords a convenient and well-connected urban lifestyle.
Maylands is well located within the Perth metropolitan area, being 4km from the Perth City Centre along the Perth to Midland passenger rail line. Guildford Road bisects Maylands in a north-easterly direction providing good regional access. The Swan River forms the southern and eastern boundary, with the suburbs of Bayswater to the north, Inglewood and Mt Lawley to the west.
Maylands is primarily residential in nature, with a small district level centre located generally around Eighth Avenue and Guildford Road. The Eighth Avenue commercial main street provides fine grained retail, commercial, civic and leisure activities.
Eighth Avenue is unique in that it is located directly adjacent to a train station and is not the primary traffic route through the activity centre. Accordingly, the core of the activity centre can perform a much more controlled public environment, unlike many traditional main streets throughout Perth that have to contend with high traffic volumes and speeds that are not conducive to commercial main street activity.
The suburb of Maylands currently comprises a number of medium – high density developments within walking distance of the Maylands centre and train station. Recent developments such as the former Blind Institute by Finbar and the Maymont development at the corner of Eighth Avenue and Whatley Crescent have drawn significant attention to the Maylands activity centre. The burgeoning café strip along Eighth Avenue and investment in Maylands by café franchisers Dome Café is evidence of gathering momentum and revival of economic confidence within Maylands.
Lifestyle choice and the pressure of rising petrol prices signals a rising demand to live in areas with a greater variety of residential, commercial, retail and cultural lifestyle choices in proximity to public transit hubs. Maylands is well placed to take advantage of all of these opportunities.
