North Fremantle suburb profile

North Fremantle is a compact riverside suburb on the northern bank of the Swan River where the river meets the ocean, offering a mix of waterfront parkland and beach-side living. It has a village feel centred around a small café and pub strip close to North Fremantle train station, and the housing ranges from timber cottages and character homes to newer low-rise apartments. Maritime history and working-harbour remnants give the streets a lived-in character, while river foreshore paths, boat ramps and easy access to ocean beaches suit people who favour an active outdoor lifestyle, with Fremantle’s shops and cultural precincts close by.
