Roseville, New South Wales

Roseville is the southern-most suburb in the municipality of Ku-ring-gai. It lies between Findlay Avenue and William Street to the south, and Bayswater Road, Abingdon Road, Chelmsford Avenue and Carnarvon Road to the north. A narrow section of the southernmost area of Roseville, between William Street and Boundary Street, is in the Willoughby municipality. To the east, Roseville is bounded by the waterways of Middle Harbour and Moores Creek, and to the west it is bounded by the Lane Cove National Park. Roseville Chase is surrounded by Babbage Road, Middle Harbour and Moores Creek, and is bisected by Warringah Road, which Roseville Bridge carries over Middle Harbour. The names 'Roseville West', 'Roseville East' and 'East Roseville' are no longer in official use.

[edit] Brief General History

Roseville was initially settled by some of Ku-ring-gai's first settlers (such as William Henry), who used the area for farming. There were a number of fruit orchards in the area. At one point, there were also market gardens. Today, Roseville is a residential suburb, with medium to low density housing. Its 'Upper-North Shore' (though Roseville Chase is considered part of the Lower-North Shore) location, excellent public infrastructure and transport systems, lush and leafy roadsides and gardens, and its relatively quiet and calm environment means that property prices are considerably high, and hence most Roseville residents are demographically classified as 'upper-middle class' to 'upper class'.
