Claremont is a prestigious Perth suburb known for its tree-lined streets, Federation and interwar character homes, and the Claremont Showgrounds. The suburb features a mix of brick and limestone Federation bungalows, interwar villas, and post-war homes on generous lots. Claremont's position between the Swan River and the Claremont Showgrounds creates a distinctive character that the Town of Claremont actively protects through heritage and character controls.
