Roseville

Roseville was inhabited by the Cammeraygal people of Guringai nation for thousands of years before European settlers established farms in 1814.

This included the Clanville Estate which was acquired by Richard Archbold (probably a familiar name for Roseville residents) to make orchards. His son-in-law built the Rose Villa (which Roseville derived its name from) but it was later demolished for the train line.

The opening of Roseville Station in 1890 led to greater residential growth for Roseville to become what we know today.

Inside Roseville

  • Roseville has a very village feel to it. There are the busy parts around main roads whilst also having quiet community environments in the bush. Roseville is a great suburb for families, professionals and retirees alike.

  • Roseville has everything you could ever feel you need. It has shops, cafes, restaurants, car dealerships, a cinema and much much more. You will also find the Northbridge Golf Club is a nice place for a meal as well as one of the most enjoyable courses to play for golf lovers. (Whether this entices you to or pushes you away from Northbridge, we won’t judge!)

  • Roseville boasts a train station that connects to the city. It also has a few bus services:

    • 558 connecting Lindfield to Chatswood passing through Roseville.

    • 565 connecting Macquarie Park to Chatswood passing through Roseville.

    • N90 the NightRide service that connects Hornsby to the city passing through Roseville.

  • Roseville offers catchments to some of the best public schools in Sydney.

    For High School (7-12):

    • Killara High School

    Killara High School has long been very popular with Jewish families as it offers Hebrew as a HSC subject.

  • Not exactly a hidden gem but Roseville Cinema is a can’t miss. It offers art-house films and classics. It is a vintage little cinema and is just a great experience.

    Also a (not so) hidden gem is the Blue Gum Creek Walking Track which is a nice bushwalking trail where you might be able to spot some native animals.

  • Almost 80% of Roseville’s households are families. The others are largely couples and singles.

  • As in most areas of the North Shore, Roseville has some areas that fit within bushfire and flood risk zones. It is a natural environment and offers great connectivity to the bush and the waterways. With that comes the balance of residential development against preserving this as well as several sustainability initiatives.

  • Roseville offers you the connection to nature with the connection to urban life. The train station makes city access easy whilst allowing you to quickly disappear into nature. The village feel of Roseville also offers you an ability to somewhat escape into what feels like a time long gone, and the cinema really adds to this.
