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.
