“Amazing suburb”, Kew East Reviewed by Massimo.
I have lived here for ten years, with awesome neighbours, great schools and parks. Also great public transport and shops. Close to the city and no traffic.
“Terrific suburb only 8km from CBD”, Kew East Reviewed by locals.
We moved here three years ago from Ivanhoe. So glad.
Close to everything. Schools; parks; city; Carlton; Camberwell and Hawthorn shopping areas; tram and bus in walking distance. Values rising and will rise much further next five years.
“Family fun”, Kew East Reviewed by Malax.
We love living in Kew East for its open spaces, an abundance of parks, walkability to cafes, shops, supermarket, child care, schools, kinder, gyms, trams and buses. The lifestyle is relaxed, and the area is full of friendly, professional and family-orientated people. I have lived here for my whole 40 years of life; it has been a great place to grow up and bring up my own family. It has beautiful heritage houses and big spacious blocks, and wide streets. Nightlife is very quiet- great for us. We can easily get to where ever we want to go – zoo, museum, Carlton north cafes, shopping centres, Brunswick st – in a short drive. We will be here for decades to come!
