One of Sydney's most exclusive peninsulas. Handled with the care it deserves.
Longueville sits on a quiet peninsula on the southern side of Lane Cove, with the Lane Cove River on three sides and a median house price that has recently passed $5.78 million. There are approximately 700 residences in the entire suburb. The streets have no through traffic because the peninsula road system has no through route. The commuter ferries from Longueville Wharf connect residents to Circular Quay in around 30 minutes. It is, in almost every measurable sense, one of Sydney's best addresses - and one that most of the city barely knows exists.
The artist Brett Whiteley lived and worked on Longueville's foreshore for nearly two decades, and the quality of light and water view that attracted him is still there. The suburb's properties range from Victorian and Federation homes on the established residential streets to prestige contemporary homes on the waterfront blocks, some of which have their own moorings on the Lane Cove River. Properties here are held for decades rather than years, and when they do come to market they attract buyers who specifically want what Longueville offers - the combination of absolute privacy, genuine natural beauty, and proximity to the city that is almost impossible to find anywhere else in Sydney.
Moving in and out of Longueville requires advance planning that matches the quality of the homes. The road access onto the peninsula is singular - one main road in and one out - and the residential streets on the foreshore blocks sometimes have access considerations worth assessing before a truck commits to a driveway. Jet handles this assessment as a standard part of every Longueville quoting process.
Longueville Road connects the suburb to Lane Cove and provides the main vehicle access onto the peninsula. The residential streets running off it toward the foreshore - Arabella Street, Christina Street, and the waterfront blocks running along the river edge - vary in their accessibility for a large truck. Some of the prestige waterfront properties have driveways and approach roads that work straightforwardly. Others have elevated access, narrow approaches, or steepness that needs assessment before moving day. Jet does this for every Longueville property with potential access complexity during the quoting process.
The homes in Longueville are among the most substantial we move anywhere on the Lower North Shore. Prestige waterfront properties with significant furniture, established collections, and the accumulated belongings of long occupancy. These jobs need time - proper time - and proper planning. We assess volume honestly during quoting so the time estimate reflects the reality of the property rather than an optimistic number.
The commuter ferry from Longueville Wharf means the suburb has its own internal rhythm around morning and evening ferry times. The streets near the wharf are busier during peak periods but the overall traffic volume in Longueville is low by North Shore standards - the no-through-traffic character of the peninsula makes it one of the calmer moving environments in the area once the access question for any individual property is resolved.
Fully insured by QBE on every job. No deposit required. No cancellation fees.
