INGLEWOOD
GET TO KNOW
THE AREA
Dotted with character homes and just north of bustling Mt Lawley, Inglewood has all the benefits of inner-city living without all the chaos. Rich in history, most of Inglewood's development occurred in the first half of the 20th century with a flurry of Federation and Californian Bungalow-style construction. Thankfully, many of the elegant commercial and residential buildings have been restored, and unlike many older suburbs close to the city, they still retain their original block sizes. Falling under the Shire of Stirling, the main commercial area focuses around Beaufort Street, with most homes branching off along the avenues. While Inglewood's character homes and cafes hold much charm, the neighbourhood is also popular for the Inglewood Night Markets and sporting facilities at the Terry Tyzack Aquatic Centre, Mount Lawley Golf Course and Macaulay Park.
Lifestyle
Situated four kilometres north of Perth's CBD and two kilometres north of Mt Lawley's tourist precinct, Inglewood has convenient transport links along Beaufort Street and easy access to the train line. While Mt Lawley is always busy, Inglewood's residents enjoy a gentler pace. With the convenience of nearby cafes, boutiques, bars, supermarkets, sporting facilities and night markets, Inglewood caters well to both suburban and cosmopolitan living.
Neighbours
Given Ingelwood's generous block sizes and easy access to local schools such as Inglewood Primary School, St Peter's Primary School, Chisholm Catholic College (in neighbouring Bedford) and Perth College (Mt Lawley), Inglewood is a drawcard for families. Character home lovers are equally enamoured with the neighbourhood for the architecture and charm of the Federation and Art Deco eras. The few remaining character homes that are not yet restored are a dream for investors and renovators seeking the opportunity to add value.
Throughout the 1960s, several apartment and unit complexes were constructed, and today are popular with students attending the nearby Edith Cowan University Mt Lawley campus. The neighbourhood is also very fashionable with professionals appreciating the short jaunt into Perth's CBD, not to mention Beaufort Street's buzzing cafés, boutiques and bars.

Area features
MOUNT LAWLEY GOLF CLUB
Despite its title, Inglewood confidently lays claim to the Mount Lawley Golf Club. Established in 1928 as one of WA's premier sporting clubs, this championship golf course has hosted countless golfing events, including the Western Australian Open Championships in 2013. Golfing fanatics will already know it ranks highly among the nation's golf courses and covering 79 hectares, it caters to all abilities. Featuring tuition, a golf shop and a function centre, this swanky golf club offers memberships with various categories, including social members and temporary club memberships for visitors.
MACAULAY PARK
Popular with kids and furry family members, Macauley Park is also home to Inglewood Stadium and the Inglewood United Football Club, which competes in the National Premier Leagues. If playing or watching soccer isn't your thing, the playgrounds, BBQs, picnic facilities and walking trails keep everyone entertained.
INGLEWOOD NIGHT MARKETS
Running on Monday nights during the warmer months, the Inglewood Night Markets are deemed the best night out in Inglewood; many would say the best Monday night out in Perth. Food trucks, vintage clothing, live entertainment and artisan stalls attract shoppers, and many locals getting together with friends and family. Stall holders change regularly, and this licensed venue is not only a fun night out but a fantastic way to support local businesses.
