Leederville

Adored for its quirky nature, Art Deco Luna Palace Cinemas and dozens of restaurants, Leederville brims with vitality. Character homes interspersed with modern townhouses cater well to the eclectic neighbourhood housing professionals, families, creatives and students attending Aranmore Catholic School or the North Metropolitan TAFE Leederville.

Most of the action occurs along Oxford and Newcastle streets ranging from the continental Re Store, burgers, cafes, Kailis Bros for seafood, tapas at Duende or Pinchos to drinks at The Garden Leederville Hotel. All your culinary bases are covered in this inner-city village, along with some retail therapy at the eclectic boutiques, homeware stores and culture with mainstream and arthouse movies screening at the Luna theatre, which also includes an outdoor cinema. Adding to the bustle, Leederville is also home to the Water Corporation, Department of Sport and Recreation, East Perth and Subiaco football clubs and the City of Vincent administration building.

You can easily reach the city just three kilometres away from the Leederville Train Station or cycling paths or take the Mitchell Freeway. Britannia Reserve features a bike trail and pump track and the nearby Lake Monger offers kilometres of trails among wetlands and bird life, including iconic black swans.
