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.

Good honest approach to the business of real estate. We enjoyed working with Charles - he has very good communication skills and he was always a pleasure to talk to.

Charles - we really appreciate your approach, thank you very much.

We sold when the market was down and when real estate agents had to work harder and longer to attract potential buyers.

We were glad that we had engaged Harris Partners because of their advice in handling the sale and their personal service.

Regards to Peter O'Malley and the team involved.

Dear Charles and the team at Harris Partners, Balmain

I was extremely pleased with the quiet efficient way the team went about appraising my property at Lilyfield and the resulting swift sale with a minimum of fuss.
No need for "open house". It all went wonderfully smoothly and I did appreciate and welcome the "no advertising fees unless we sell your property" policy.
I would highly recommend this agency as having an honest and ethical approach to their clients and wish them continued success.
