The former ugly duckling next to the Swan River
Located next to the CBD, East Perth is an inner suburb of the city of Perth. Its proximity to the CBD makes East Perth a suburb where access to facilities and amenities is quick and convenient.
Situated next to the Swan River and on a hill, East Perth was an ideal location for the Swan River Colony’s cemetery, and later for the Perth Power Station and Gas Works. Although one consequence of these factors was that East Perth was not a sought-after residential suburb, this changed in the 1990s with the development of the Claisebrook Village.
In his report to the Secretary of State for Colonies in 1837, Governor James Stirling wrote: “At the present time it can scarcely be said that any roads exist, although certain lines of communication have been improved by clearing them of timber and by bridging streams and by establishing ferries in the Swan River…”
Today, East Perth is an upmarket and trendy suburb, with easy access to parks, other green spaces, and the riverbank. Entertainment that will satisfy every taste is just around the corner: the WACA Cricket Ground and the Gloucester Park Trotting Ground are perfect for sports fans, while a myriad of cafes, restaurants and bars provide ample nightlife recreation.
Claisebrook Village is the heart of East Perth, and here, multi-level apartment living is the norm. The area surrounding Claisebrook Cove is an especially dense residential hub.
Its urban character makes it ideal for professionals and students looking for a low-maintenance living environment.
