Situated 9km from the Perth GPO. This small suburb takes its name from the sheltered cove that forms its northern boundary. The cove was named after Alfred Waylen, the original grantee of Swan Location 74 which took in most of the present day localities of Myaree and Alfred Cove.

Alfred Cove itself is a quiet inlet on the southern bank of the Swan River and the suburb of Alfred Cove meets the river for a half-kilometre stretch at Tompkins Park. However, unlike neighbouring Applecross and Attadale, Alfred Cove can't boast riverfront mansions - the residential area is separated from the river by the Canning Highway.

Of course, this makes property in Alfred Cove much more affordable, and many homes are still within easy walking distance to the river. There are a number of houses with river views across the highway.
