A Bit About Northwood
Northwood is a small, privately known suburb on the Lane Cove River between Longueville and Riverview in the Lane Cove local government area. It is a tightly held address of generous homes on sloping river blocks with extraordinary Lane Cove River views, and where the permanent population is small and very attached to the natural beauty and privacy of the suburb. Northwood rarely appears prominently in real estate discussions, which suits its residents well. The Lane Cove River proximity means consistent salt moisture is a genuine garage door maintenance consideration for any river-facing position, and the quality of the homes means maintenance standards are expected to be high.
