HILTON

Hilton’s post-World War II design was under a state government initiative known as “garden suburbs” which meant wide verges and single homes on large blocks. Hilton residents enjoy the green values of the “garden suburb” with mature trees and informal native gardens embracing nature. Now boasting an eclectic mixture of weatherboard, fibro and brick dwellings, in recent years Hilton has undergone extensive urban renewal with original homes being uniquely renovated and extended and many new homes being built sustaining the original character of the suburb.

For real estate agents in Hilton, these properties provide a sense of nostalgia. Of childhood memories, long forgotten, which come flooding back.  Often, Hilton yards proudly display a huge frangipani planted in the 50s or a mulberry tree that self-seeded 20 years ago. Strolling the street’s you can see front verandas opening to the street, limestone rubble walls or hear a chook proudly letting everyone know they have just laid an egg. Just some of the things Hilton lovers enjoy about their community.

Only five minutes’ drive from the centre of Fremantle and the beach, with Jacaranda and Flame tree lined streets, Hilton is well known for its friendly community spirit, Hilton Harvest Community Garden and the PCYC. Surrounded by a variety of shops, there’s easy access to public transport and local schools as well as a choice of open spaces for kids to play or walk the family pet. And you’ll always find one of the friendly locals happy for a chat at one of the nearby cafes.
