Overview

Nestled on limestone hills at the mouth of the Swan River, Fremantle (often called “Freo”) is a vibrant, bohemian enclave celebrated for its well‑preserved Victorian‑Edwardian streetscapes, bustling markets, cafés along the “Cappuccino Strip” and a lively waterfront filled with microbreweries, restaurants and annual festivals such as the Fremantle Sardine and Chilli events. The suburb’s rich arts scene, galleries, live music venues and the historic Fremantle Arts Centre, alongside five surf‑friendly beaches, creates a laid‑back yet culturally rich lifestyle that attracts both locals and visitors. In the 2021 census the City of Fremantle recorded 31,930 residents.

Transport is a key draw, with the electrified passenger rail line terminating at Fremantle station, major highways (Stirling, Canning and Leach) linking the CBD, and passenger ferries to Rottnest Island. Housing blends heritage terraces, modern apartments and a higher‑than‑average rental share (31.7% in 2021), while a thriving small‑business economy, over 2,000 enterprises, supports a diverse community of residents and students from the University of Notre Dame and local TAFE campuses.
