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.

Hi Chris,

I just want to say thanks for getting Mum and Dad's house sold so quickly and for getting such a great price.

Mum and Dad (and all of us) are very impressed with the effort you and the rest of the team put in to achieving the best result. You were very considerate of Mum and Dad's situation which made the whole process so much easier for them. Now the family can concentrate on the next stage of the process - getting them moved and settled in their new home.

Harris Partners Real Estate have recently conducted the sale of our property at Coleridge St, Leichhardt.

The campaign was led by Mr Charles Milburn working in conjunction with several other members of the Harris Partners team.

Many discussions and briefings were held with Charles and a good working relationship soon developed with Charles and the team.

I have found Harris Partners Real Estate to be thorough and professional and would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

I wish to thank Charles personally for his diligence, and I take this opportunity to wish the entire Harris Partners team every success in the future.
