Any takers on South Fremantle? Wasn't keen on North Coogee as it's new estates and cul de sac blingy.
South Freo is great and not at all dodgy. When we arrived 25 years ago it was definitely suspect, but all we could afford. It has come into its own after being the poor relative of Fremantle. I've tried to live elsewhere but it has me in its clutches!
North Coogee is an abomination!
Walker Street is well-positioned - a short walk to cafes, restaurants and food shopping and, most importantly, South Beach. Beaconsfield Primary is quite close. I couldn't recommend South Fremantle Senior High School. Closer to Freo there's John Curtin High School - I believe it specialises in acting, music, etc.
As for horses - South Freo used to be a centre for training horses and I think some are still exercised on the beach just south of South Beach .
What else would you like to know, Lizzie? Ask away.
cheers
