Suburb Profile

LILYFIELD
Le Montage, Lilyfield
Lilyfield 2040

Named for the lilies that grew in the area, or possibly a Mr Lily, one of the earliest landowners. The first grant was given to Luke Ralph in 1821 but remained largely undisturbed until manufacturing and light industry associated with the timber trade brought worker's into the area.

Lilyfield has an assortment of housing, marginally larger than the immediate
neighbourhood and some areas have larger blocks of land.

Many of the streets provide excellent views of the city skyline and are currently enjoying an influx of owners keen to restore and refurbish.

The Orange Grove public school has a regular Saturday morning fruit and vegetable market which attracts people from all over the Peninsula, as does the waterfront Aquatic swimming complex, and access to the Bay run.

The light rail system built in the 1990's has greatly improved transport to the area which suffered from the deep rift valley running down the middle of the suburb.

Other transport is provided by RTA buses.

David,
I was absolutely delighted with the result achieved by Harris Partners when I came to sell my house. The sale price far exceeded my expectations. The sale was finalised incredibly quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Harris Partners to anyone who wants to sell their house, and I will definitely use their services again.

Carmine & Maria Di Ienno | Lilyfield
From our first meeting with David we felt assured and well informed of the whole selling procedure. We sold our home in a short time and were kept informed every step of the way. He even helped us with researching a different area so we could make an informed decision about purchasing our next property. We would like to thank David for his professionalism and friendly personality.

Thanks for all your hard work and great results on selling our property at Foy St Balmain.

Given we were "first time sellers" we were, I guess, cynical about real estate agents in general before putting our property on the market.

We were extremely impressed with the number of prospective buyers brought through the property right from the get go - and that was consistently the case across the whole time period we had the property on the market - and given the time of year we listed - mid December to January - I think this was really impressive.

The advice you gave us across this time was also valuable in attracting interested buyers. From there to achieve the level of interest in the property, and then a sale result over and above what the property was listed for was fantastic to say the least.

I would be very happy to recommend your services to anyone in the future.

Thanks once again.
