Inglewood is an inner-city suburb of Perth, Western Australia, 4 kilometres (2 mi) north-east of its central business district.

[2] Regarded as part of Maylands in the early years, Inglewood was initially developed by a company called Gold Estates of Australia and a section now referred to as The Avenues was the first to be subdivided.

This development included land from the railway line to North Street and eventually through to Eleventh Avenue and Dundas Road; the later subdivision was named Inglewood Estate.

[citation needed] The majority of residences in Inglewood are of pre-war vintage (many are of a Federation or Californian bungalow style) and towards Mount Lawley a typical lot size is 730 square metres (7,900 sq ft), increasing to up to 1,400 square metres (15,000 sq ft) east of Beaufort Street.

[citation needed] Inglewood has a high heritage value with numerous places of cultural and historical significance and many of the older dwellings have been renovated and restored to their original styles.

In addition to character housing, there are 1960s apartments and modern unit developments scattered throughout the suburb.

Inglewood Primary School meets the educational needs for younger students while the Home of Peace provides services for elderly residents.

The clock tower was originally part of a picture theatre - the Civic - and shopping complex designed, built, and owned by Tom Snooks (1890–1958) a local picture-show man and builder-developer from the 1910s to the 1940s.

[citation needed] The suburb contains a number of heritage-listed sites, including the Inglewood Post Office.

Major industries that residents worked in were hospitals (4.4%), state government administration (3.3%), primary education (2.8%), cafes and restaurants (2.8%), and legal services (2.6%).

Expansions occurred in the 1950s, and in 1957, a secondary school for girls named St Thomas Aquinas College opened on the same site.

[12] Meanwhile, St Mark’s College, a secondary school for boys, was established on Beaufort Street in Bedford.

The suburb is served by a number of Transperth bus routes operated by Path Transit.
