Tiny, exclusive bayside peninsula suburb of just 0.2 km² and 142 residents at the 2021 census, sitting on the northern shore of the Parramatta River about 9 km north-west of the Sydney CBD in the Municipality of Hunter's Hill. Named after Alfred Reynolds Huntley, who bought the land and built Point House in 1851. The suburb is almost entirely large waterfront and harbour-view homes along just two streets — Huntleys Point Road and Victoria Road — behind a fringe of small foreshore parks that cover about 14.7% of the suburb. Leafy, hushed and older-skewing (average age about 57), with 100% of homes owner-occupied at the 2021 census and the highest end of the Lower North Shore price scale.

Transport
No railway line or station serves Huntleys Point — the suburb is reached by road and water. Huntleys Point ferry wharf sits on the suburb's Parramatta River frontage and is served by Sydney Ferries' F3 Parramatta River services running between Circular Quay and Parramatta, with a lift installed at the wharf in 2016. Busways operates the bus routes through the Hunters Hill–Gladesville corridor that stop along the peninsula's Victoria Road/Huntleys Point Road edge, including 252 (North Sydney–Gladesville), 505 (Town Hall–Woolwich, peak), 506, 530 (Burwood–Chatswood), 536 (Gladesville–Chatswood, peak) and 538 (Gladesville–Woolwich).
Schools
Riverside Girls High School — NSW government secondary girls' school founded in 1934 and physically located in Huntleys Point, with 651 students in years 7–12 — is the suburb's only school. There is no primary school within Huntleys Point: the government school zone for the suburb centres on Hunters Hill Public School in the immediately adjacent suburb of Hunters Hill, which also hosts Hunters Hill High School, St Joseph's College (Catholic boys' secondary) and Villa Maria Primary School.
Shopping & Amenities
Huntleys Point has no shops, cafes or commercial strip of its own — it is a residential-only suburb of two streets. Everyday shopping and dining sit just across the border in adjacent Hunters Hill, whose small village strip on the corner of Alexandra and Ferry Streets holds local shops and cafes.
Parks & Outdoors
The Parramatta River forms Huntleys Point's southern edge, and the suburb's foreshore is dotted with small parks and reserves — parks cover nearly 14.7% of the 0.2 km² suburb. The ferry wharf is the natural river outlook point, with views across the water to Henley and Chiswick on the southern shore. For larger open space, the heritage-listed Kellys Bush Park bushland reserve lies in adjacent Hunters Hill at the end of Nelson Parade.
Property Market
The median house price in Huntleys Point was around No reliable published house median — just 1 house sale in the 12 months to mid-2026 (YIP/CoreLogic). Mid-2026 tracker estimates cluster at roughly $3.85M–$4.25M (Andrea Monti: $3.85M, −6.9% over 12 months to Jul 2026; estait: $4.18M), while PropTrack's median computed on only 2 sales printed $8.91M, skewed by trophy waterfront transactions (property.com.au) (mid-2026). See our full Sydney property price map for how the suburb compares across the city. Huntleys Point is Sydney real estate in miniature: 0.2 km², 142 residents, homes almost entirely owner-occupied (100% at the 2021 census) and typically one or two house sales a year, so every published median swings on a single trophy sale — the $8.91M PropTrack figure and the $3.85M–$4.25M tracker range are all consistent with that thinness. For scale, the current 5-bedroom listing at 21 Huntleys Point Road carries a $6.8M guide. The suburb skews to childless couples repaying more than $4,000 a month, consistent with its position among the most expensive Lower North Shore enclaves.
New Developments
Development activity is minimal: Huntleys Point is a fully built-out 0.2 km² peninsula of established waterfront homes on two streets, with sales turnover of about one house a year. The main recent infrastructure change was the 2016 lift installation at the ferry wharf.
Jobs & Local Economy
Residents predominantly work in professional occupations, with households largely childless couples repaying over $4,000 a month on mortgages. Median household income of $3,999 a week runs about 92.5% above the Greater Sydney average. There is no local employment base beyond the school and wharf, so the workforce commutes — overwhelmingly to the Sydney CBD by ferry or bus.
