The Locals

Lush greenery and expansive park and bushlands make up greater Lane Cove—an expansive area that includes Lane Cove National Park. Living in Lane Cove means enjoying a pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly environment. Locals love to get outdoors and explore the 50 parks and playgrounds that are situated around Lane Cove. The village shopping precinct is the heart of Lane Cove. Situated along Longueville and Burns Bay Roads, the pedestrian-only plaza with its wealth of cafés and restaurants serves as the social gathering space for locals. Further down Longueville Road, Lane Cove Public School transforms into a thriving Farmers and Produce Market every Saturday. 

There is what would seem an overabundance of early education and primary schools in the area—three of which sit side by side along Longueville Road—but they each play a pivotal role in servicing the area’s growing population. Multiculturalism is celebrated here in an array of events and festivals, including the nine-week Cameraygal Festival, which honours the area’s Indigenous heritage. With such beautiful surroundings and only 10 minutes from the CBD, living in Lane Cove makes it easy for families to enjoy the best of both worlds.
