East Fremantle Fremantle

Fremantle is a high-growth area where renting is far more common (37.1%) and more people live alone (36.9%). It is a major hub for services, with far more schools and public transport stops than its neighbour. In contrast, East Fremantle is more established and affluent, with a much higher share of homes owned outright (40.9%) and far more large family homes with three or more bedrooms (73.9%).
