Fremantle council is doin its best to ruin North Freo with higher density decision making. But it is hard to stuff things up too badly in this suburb. There is now a childcare next to the train station (perfect) and the Rose Hotel now has a mens and women's GP. Not far up the road in Cottesloe is a bulk billed GP.
The big drawback in this suburb is the lack of a grocery store of any kind and ATMs are distant. But almost everyone is a couple of minutes from the river and the beach is just across stirling highway. It really is quite idealic in that respect. The bars and restaurants are close and cool, but they are not on top of most residences as they are nestled in between Vic Ave and Stirling Hwy.
The worst thing about North Freo is the council. They do virtually nothing useful up here as they are all from across the river. They seem to be proponents of "not in our back yard" as they are actively approving high density in our suburb and keeping it away from the south side.
