Farrington Road runs from Karel Avenue through Leeming to the Kwinana Freeway overpass (and then beyond). Leeming Forum is located on this street and has lots of excellent shops and services such as Leeming IGA, chemist, Brumbies, Chin's, Coles Express, Prima Pasta, Dominos, etc. The 515 and 516 bus routes run along Farrington Road in front of the Leeming Forum, giving extra public transport options.

Farrington Road is a single lane road with four roundabouts that keep away large truck traffic and enable free-flowing traffic at all times. The Melville Council has taken a strong position that Farrington Road remains a local single lane street, and that it not become a de-facto Roe 8. This street is pretty quiet most of the time. The road is well lit and has lovely maple-like trees along the median strip.

The south side of Farrington Road offers a variety of professional services like doctors, dentists, physios, allergists, chiros and vets. There is also a popular child care centre on the corner of Farrington Road and Casserly Drive which adds to the family friendly vibe.

Quiet and friendly. Good access to public transport and Leeming Forum. Children's playground in the park nearby - a great place for the little ones to run around.

Quiet, safe and friendly street. At Christmas time each year the house owners band together to transform this street into a lighting display extravaganza, which is loved by both local walkers and those driving from far away.

Great street with good access to public transport and Leeming Forum. Excellent footpaths for taking the kids or pets for a walk. Lots of friendly neighbours also out walking.

Great if you are a cyclist as it's a short ride to Kwinana Freeway PSP, with minimal roads to cross.
