Perth City
and Surrounds
Inglewood
The suburb of
Inglewood is an established inner suburb approximately 5 kilometres
north east of the Perth CBD. The suburb was apparently named after
the Norwegian barque Inglewood which voyaged to Fremantle, Western
Australia during the 1890s.
The suburb of
Inglewood with its character houses and old suburb charm along "The
Avenues" has always been popular with a wide cross section
of the population including families, the elderly and the young.
"The Avenues" are lined with leafy Jacaranda trees with
their trademark purple blossoms during springtime.

Clock Tower |
Inglewood is
bounded by the adjoining suburbs of Mount Lawley, Menora, Bedford,
Dianella, Yokine and Maylands. In recent years, higher density living
including multi use residential and commercial developments has
been on the rise.
Apartment
living "inner city" style along Beaufort Street has become
par of the course for some residents in Inglewood. Beaufort
Street underwent major realignment to iron out the "kink"
near the historical Inglewood Clock Tower. The redevelopment of
the landmark Clock Tower on the corner of Beaufort Street and Dundas
Street has also been much awaited for.
Residents
no longer have to make the track to the Mount Lawley cafe strip
for dining out as Inglewood can now boast its own thriving cafe
strip. The cafe strip was established around 2005 and has a good
range of trendy cafes and restaurants to choose from.

Shopping facilities
are excellent with a local IGA supermarket, Brumby's, and a chemist
all within close proximity. There are also some interesting specialty
shops such as the well known and expanded Mondo Butchers ("Mondos"),
Mount Lawley Wholefoods and Ali Baba's Whole Foods. During the summer
time, "Mondos" runs its Saturday morning markets which
are popular with locals.
Transport services
also provide easy access to the train network from the Maylands
train stop and to the bus service from Beaufort Street.
