Maylands, South Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maylands () is a suburb of Adelaide in the City of Norwood Payneham St Peters. Maylands is in the South Australian Electoral district of Norwood and the Australian electoral Division of Adelaide.
It consists of mostly medium density residential properties, with many of the houses having been built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It is currently undergoing the process of gentrification. The average house price would be in the region of $350,000 to $400,000[citation needed]. Unlike Stepney, the suburb neighbouring Maylands to the west, the dwellings are usually larger with some remaining homes attached to small market gardens. There are few "workers cottages".
One of the most notable landmarks includes the Maylands Hotel, which is located opposite Cruickshank Reserve on the south eastern corner of the Phillis and Clifton Streets intersection.
The Maylands Hotel has become a popular eatery, with it arguably being off the beaten track and hidden in leafy suburbia.
The suburb was named after the second wife of William Wadham, an earlier settler who in 1876 sold land that made up the original town. Her name was Emma Josephine May and Maylands took its name from her.
It is bounded by the main roads Portrush Road and Magill Road.
