FOREST LODGE
Forest Lodge Primary School
Forest Lodge 2037

Traditional owners of the land were from the Eora nation

13 hectares were given to Sir George Gipps in 1840 who was a chemist and he built "Forest Lodge" mansion in 1912. A local pub, also called "Forest Lodge" is one of the few remaining watering holes of the 1850's still operating.

Separated from Glebe in general by a wide valley enclosing Harold Park through Hegarty Street to Bridge Road across Johnston's Creek and Orphan School Creek.

Developed mainly in the Victorian era, a predominance of single and double storey row houses follow the contours of the low hills, stepping down in steep grades, and a few grander terraces built on the higher elevations.

As with Glebe, close proximity to Sydney University and the thriving village culture of the area with its many shops, schools, hotels, parks and neighbourhood facilities makes Forest Lodge a desirable location.

The 2006 Census combines population and other statistics with Glebe.

The median house price for Forest Lodge in 2008 is $733,000. The median unit price is $360,000.

Dear Peter,

This is a short note to express my appreciation for the job you and the Harris Partners team did in selling my property. Your involvement resulted in a considerably improved selling price, in excess of my own expectations.

I would not hesitate to recommend you and your team to anybody selling their property in the area. Harris Partners - proven professionals.

Dear Chris,

Your marketing technique of appointment only is the way to go, attracting genuine buyers from your data base. After listing, eight people arrived the next day. Sunday it was sold - that was 24 hours later. It sold for full price at a figure I had only dreamt about and which no other agent thought it was worth.

I had been advised to go to auction by one local real estate but I believe that the process is too stressful, with neighbours and the public going through my home for a rushed short period. It's a flawed process and I know that the result I just received could not have been better.
