Palmyra, WA 6157

I have lived in Palmyra for around 6 to 7 years. I have just turned 12 and I love it here. It's not the biggest suburb, but I mean what is? It's a small area but that's the good thing about it! My primary school, Our Lady of Fatima, is a great primary school. It's small but really good for kids to interact with each other. I love all the teachers there they are all so nice! Really think of getting our kids to go there!!!

We moved to Pally earlier this year. I don’t think this suburb gets enough credit in comparison to others. Super close to beaches, river, city, freo and lots of nice parks. One of the more affordable suburbs in the area. Lots of young families and a lovely neighbourhood community.

I’ve noticed lots of renovations on the older houses and new builds going up which is great. The blocks tend to be small, but the location is what makes this suburb special. Definitely recommend!

A very friendly suburb with a relaxed vibe. Close to Freo and the beach with high frequency bus routes along Canning Hwy and Marmion St. Great public school in the centre of the suburb is the community hub. A private primary school is here as well and Palmyra is in the Melville High zone. Multiple child care centres in the suburb and many more in adjacent suburbs. Supermarkets on three of the four corners. A few cafes within the suburb and everything you need along the main streets bordering the suburb. A couple of pockets of public housing in the north-east and south-east corners. Lots of young kids, families, bikes and dogs. The suburb is constantly changing as houses are renovated and built with enough old homes that give the streets character. Lots of established eucalypts along the streets give it a green feel. Young professionals who are priced out of East Fremantle, Bicton and Attadale choose to raise their families here where it is nearby but more affordable. Depending where you live, the beach and Freo can be as little as a five minute drive or ten minute bike ride away and the river even closer.

Palmyra is such a good suburb you should live here right now! #Palmyraforlife

We have lived in Palmyra for over 15 years. It is a great suburb for families, with the kids often running over to play with neighbours kids or go up to the local park, It is fairly quiet, and a leafy suburb, with quite of lot of the large gum trees and lots of parks. We made the effort to get to know our neighbours and all our local ones are great. The suburb is close to the river (Point Walter), the beach and freo. It is definitely not nightlife central, but freo or the city is not that far away and there are local coffee shops/restaurants . Trip to the city is normally 20 minutes, or can be up to 35-40 min in peak hour.

We have only been living here since April, although we have visted the suberb for years visiting friends. We totaly love Palmyra. We can walk to either Woolworths or Coles with our two kids. The school has a great farmers market on a Sunday creating a realaxed atmosphere and community spirit. There are loads of essential shops within walking distance if you are willing to cross the pedestrian lights at Canning highway. There are loads of great parks too. The blocks are not the grand 750sqm although I think peoples life styles have moved on from this and into more managable sized blocks. We are also not having 4-5 child families any more. Our internet service is FAST. There was no problem setting up internet TV! Our street does not have underground power yet although, in the future, Im sure it will. There are loads of trees and birds. And when friends come to visit they always mention how quiet it is. I go walking every day and people are always curtious. I love Palmyra and that fact that people grow their own vegie patches on the nature strip (verge). Really great to see. Close to Freo, public transport and river how could you go past it.

I have lived here around 3 years and love it. We are at the East Freo end, and have access to all the shops, cafes, facilities of Pally, Bicton, Freo and Melville. Better value than neighbouring suburbs.Some of the quaint cottages haven been bowled for units which is a shame, but you get that anywhere close to the city. Public transport good - direct to the city down Canning Highway.

Have been living around the area for around 8 years now. Close to the river, Freo and the beach. Good access to shopping at Garden city or around the O'connor/Melville areas. Only reason I'll be moving is if I can afford to move over to East Fremantle...Probably biggest drawbacks are it's not easy finding family sized houses and it isn't the best for transport links into the CBD but not really an issue for me.

All the people who write reviews do you live in Palmyra? Do you notice how people walk the streets at 2-3am drinking? Havent you noticed how close all the tree are to the power lines? Theres no underground power in this suburb. No Fiber or cable internet. What would you say defines a developed suburb? Sad to say its a bunnings, kfc, more than 1 set of shops that has a newsagent and a post office attached... Its not exactly a thriving community with all the tiny 200-400m2 lots and insane number of dead end streets and round about. What defines a bad suburb? perhaps a meat packing plant? and parks where people leave human bodily solids on the bbq facilities. If you think palmyra is worth any more than 2 stars you've never really lived anywhere else.

Palmyra, it is what it is. Old worker cottages exist all over the place and new precast houses standing 2 stories tall. A mixture of new and old. There is however the element of to much to fast with local zoning changed many existing quaint houses being demolished to make units resulting in a higher than usual proportion of homes west housing. There are no shops, no cafe strips, no places to eat. What it appears to have however are dog and cat owners in spades. You cant go for a walk around palmyra without bumping into many a person walking their favorite pet. There are substantial feral cat problems and breakins rates are higher than most suburbs unfortunately. If you have the money to build a new house with high walls its a great suburb to live in. For anyone else, stay out and pray you never have the misfortune to be born in Palmyra.

I have lived in Palmyra for around 8 years. I love the mix of houses (although intensely dislike it when someone pulls down an old cottage to build a square box). Being an old established area the parks are well established as are street trees. The people are friendly and access to the city, Fremantle, Garden City, beach and river is just minutes away. Fantastic place to live!

I've been living in Palmyra for the last 3 years and have loved living in the area. I live in a villa group of 8 and all neighbours are good quality friendly people of all ages. The suburb has soul and character with a variety of different individual houses of all decades. Its 10 mins to freo, 5mins to the river, 15mins to Garden City, so location is fantastic. The only negative is it is expensive to buy, especially when you think of the block size (a lot of half blocks usually 450 - 550 sqm) compared to some other surrounding suburbs.

A wonderful mix of people live in Palmyra from the young families to the elderly. It is very friendly and close to Fremantle, shopping at Garden City, the beaches and parks.
