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.

Dear Charles,

Thank you, and the sales team, for a great result on the sale of my home. I would certainly recommend Harris Partners to everyone. The professionalism and courtesy displayed by the staff is second to none, and to sell my home in 7 days, above the asking price, was well beyond my expectations.

Thanks again.

Charles,

A quick note to say thank you very much for all of your efforts and the great result with the sale of our home!

We weren't familiar with the Harris Partners way of selling until our initial catch up. Once hearing your technique and approach however, there was no reason we could think of to not give it a go.

Your regular personal contact and advice during the process was great and led to the result we were expecting!

Your very honest and real approach was refreshing and it was truly a great experience having you sell our home.

Thanks,

Dan Bessant
