Northbridge is a suburb on the Lower North Shore of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is located 6 kilometres north of the Sydney Central Business District, in the local government area of the City of Willoughby. Northbridge is a quiet, leafy suburb with no through traffic as it occupies a peninsula that extends into Middle Harbour, and is surrounded by bush and water on three sides.

Northbridge is an affluent suburb, ranking in the top 10 postcodes in Australia by average taxable income.[2] As of April 2024 the median house price is $5.2m[3] and Northbridge is also home to Australia's most expensive street, Hallstrom Close. [4]

The Suspension Bridge, linking the suburb to Cammeray, has become a recognised symbol of Northbridge, completed in January 1892 and purchased by the state government in 1912.

The suburb celebrated its centenary in 2013.

History

Northbridge took its name from its location, north of a sandstone suspension bridge built in 1892. The bridge was constructed by a team of land developers at a cost of 42,000 and originally known as North Sydney Bridge.[5] The engineer responsible for the construction was J. E. Coyle and the style was Federation Gothic, with medieval motifs as "unexpected embellishments".[6] It has been known as the Northbridge and Cammeray Suspension Bridge but is now called the Long Gully Bridge.

The land where the suspension bridge was built belonged to William Twemlow, a Sydney jeweler. In 1868 he purchased the land extending from Fig Tree Point to the head of Long Bay, (now Northbridge). He initially regarded the land as valueless but changed his mind when he made a handsome profit by selling some of it to an English syndicate who built the suspension bridge. Twemlow decided to build a two-storey home called The Hermitage, on Fig Tree Point, from sandstone quarried on the estate, which took a year to cut. As this was the first house built in this locality, transport was a problem and Twemlow had to sail through The Spit and around Middle Head to Circular Quay, from where he walked to his shop at Sydney Arcade.

Northbridge Post Office opened on 25 November 1920.[7]

Suburban development of Northbridge occurred in the aftermath of World War I, and through the 1920s, new houses, roads, schools and shops were built in the suburb.

Since that time, Northbridge has maintained a number of Federation-style detached houses.
