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.

Andrea Ferrari | Rozelle
Harris Partners have provided a thorough and professional service from selling my home and finding me a new home. I was introduced to Harris Partners through David Beauregard about three years ago and his approach impressed me at the time, so when it was time for me to market my home he was an obvious choice to talk with about the process.

I felt extremely assured being a client of the company and the entire process of selling and buying went very smoothly - problems were minimal and solutions were provided.

From the first time we made contact with you we were both very impressed by the professional advice you provided. We felt extremely confident that you were a true professional and would treat us and our property in a professional manner.
