Lane Cove, NSW 2066
Lane Cove is a leafy gem of a suburb encompassing everything that's desirable about Sydney living. It's a true village in every sense of the word, with a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and all of life's needs and pleasures in one local hub.
Lane Cove is a particularly family friendly location, with its shady streets lined with generous houses on large blocks. A small section cascades down to the Lane Cove River, with a select number of properties enjoying absolute waterfrontage. While always an affluent place to call home, Lane Cove has undergone somewhat of a metamorphosis in recent years. Now many of the dated apartments that once graced the suburb have been replaced with luxury modern developments positioned to enjoy parkland and river views, catering to an upmarket professional and downsizer population. A number of infrastructure and community projects and upgrades have also transformed the suburb and its village, including a revamp of Lane Cove Plaza and improved civic spaces.
Take a leisurely stroll down the main artery Longueville Road and its side streets and you'll encounter an array of lively cafes, multicultural eateries, specialty stores and neighbourhood facilities. The Canopy is a recent addition to the landscape, home to a village green, children's playground, performance stage, restaurant precinct and supermarkets. The recently upgraded Lane Cove Aquatic Leisure Centre is a popular recreational resource where locals love to swim laps, work out in the gym or take the kids for lessons.
The national parkland that surrounds the Lane Cove River is one of Sydney's great urban sanctuaries, where you'll feel more like you're in the countryside rather than just 15 minutes from the city. Whether you're looking to unwind, exercise or explore, this serene oasis has it all, from beautiful waterways where you can kayak to the Heritage Walk, meandering mountain bike trails, idyllic picnicking spots and an abundance of native flora and fauna.
Keen golfers can tee off from the challenging greens of the Lane Cove Golf Club, a community-based 9-hole public course set in lush natural bushland, featuring a clubhouse with bar, dining and function facilities.
Local schools are highly regarded, reflecting the family friendly nature of the area. In the vicinity you'll find Lane Cove Public School, Lane Cove West Public School, Mowbray Public School, Currambena Primary & Preschool, St Michael's Catholic Primary School and the prestigious Saint Ignatius' College Riverview in neighbouring Riverview.
Lane Cove can be easily accessed via buses. Alternatively you can catch a train to Artarmon station or catch a ferry to Riverview and stroll 15 minutes to Lane Cove village.
