Bayswater is located on the northeastern side of the Swan River. It is approximately seven kilometres from the Perth CBD and close to Maylands, Morley and Embleton. Bayswater is part of the City of Bayswater municipality, which is colloquially known as the ‘Garden City’. The inner metro suburb, which has a total land area of 10 square kilometres, began its major suburban development in the late 1880s.

Bayswater offers its residents a classic suburban environment close to urban conveniences. The Bayswater Train Station is a major feature of the suburb, which makes commuting around the Perth metro area very easy for locals. There are also plenty of schools within the area, and it is close to parks and other desirable amenities. The Morley Galleria, which is a major Perth shopping centre, is just a short drive away.
