The port city of Fremantle sits on a series of limestone hills at the mouth of the Swan River, known by the Nyoongar people as Booyeembara. It is renowned worldwide for its well-preserved architectural heritage, including convict-built structures and hundreds of Gold Rush-era buildings.
Fremantle real estate is also famous for its five world-class beaches: Leighton Beach, Port Beach, South Beach, Bathers Beach and River Beach. The strong afternoon sea breeze, known as the Fremantle Doctor, makes these beaches the prime location for both wind and kitesurfing.
Fremantle is home to an eclectic mix of arty and alternative people, with suburban streets buzzing with the song of buskers and the music that floats out from its many cafes and bars. Fremantle houses for sale give fantastic access to the multicultural dining scene, which includes a strong Italian influence and a host of other cuisines.
Fremantle’s Fishing Boat Harbour precinct also features a brewery and some of the State’s most popular seafood restaurants dotted along its boardwalks.
The suburb has seven-day-a-week shopping, with a variety of fashion boutiques crammed along High and Market Streets, and a number of lively cafes and stylish restaurants on Wray Avenue, South Terrace and South Terrace (known colloquially as the ‘Cappuccino Strip’).
It is truly no surprise that Fremantle houses for rent are among the most sought-after in Perth.
