St Huberts Island does waterfront living differently. It is a canal-laced residential island in Brisbane Water, joined to the mainland at Daleys Point and about a 1 hour 20 minute drive north of the Sydney CBD. The two streets share that setting but offer different ways into it. Long Arm Parade is the established, higher-value family street of larger homes, while Sirius Street is smaller and more lifestyle-led, trading on walkable water access and a wider mix of home sizes.
Price and Value
Start with the suburb baseline. The St Huberts Island median house price sits at $1,950,000, based on 23 houses sold over the past 12 months, with the median house value up 7.29% over the same period and buyer demand up 11%. No street-level median is published, so individual sales and estimates do the talking.
Long Arm Parade sits at and above that baseline. 21 Long Arm Parade sold for $6,000,000 in October 2024, 26 Long Arm Parade carries an estimated value of $2,766,000, and 11 Long Arm Parade sold for $2,010,000 in 2020.
Sirius Street spans a broader value range. 10 Sirius Street sold for $1,675,400 in January 2026, 15 Sirius Street sold for $1,350,000 in May 2026 after a $650,000 sale in 2018, and 3 Sirius Street has an estimated value of $1,308,000. Buyers after the upper end and larger homes look to Long Arm Parade, while Sirius Street offers more varied entry points around and below the suburb median.
Waterfront Lifestyle and Water Access
Water access is at the centre of island life. Kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, fishing and boating are everyday pastimes, and private jetties and pontoons line the canals, with foreshore reserves and small parks around the island.
The two streets deliver it differently. Long Arm Parade examples lean toward immediate back-door positions. 4 Long Arm Parade was marketed as “only steps from your back door to the water” with a boat slipway and a sandy beach, while 14 Long Arm Parade sits in what its listing calls a “prized outside waterfront position” with wide, calm water views.
Sirius Street leans on walkable access plus a few standout deep-waterfront homes. 13 Sirius Street is marketed as an “Impressive Family Home” with a “Stroll to Waterfront” position, 10 Sirius Street is described as an “Outstanding Deep Waterfront with Jetty”, and 9 Sirius Street offers what its listing calls a “relaxed and peaceful lifestyle close to the water”.
Streetscape, Home Styles and Block Sizes
Long Arm Parade is the bigger, more uniform street. The street profile records 26 houses, 95% owner-occupied and 5% rented. Homes are mostly larger four-bedroom family houses on lots of roughly 639 to 965 square metres, and the street includes established single-level brick-and-tile waterfront examples with underground power and utilities.
Sirius Street is smaller and more varied. Its profile records 11 houses, 80% owner-occupied and 20% rented. The mix runs from a two-bedroom cottage-style home at 9 Sirius Street through to four-bedroom family homes, on generous lots commonly around 793 to 883 square metres. 10 Sirius Street shows the contemporary end: four bedrooms, an upstairs balcony, open-plan living and a landscaped backyard with pool and established hedging.
That leaves Long Arm Parade as the more consistent premium option, while Sirius Street is the more varied street on generous minimum lots.
School Runs and Everyday Amenities
There are no schools on the island itself, so both streets share the same catchments: Empire Bay Public School for primary and Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina Campus for secondary. Ettalong, Umina and Woy Woy are about a five-minute drive for cafes, restaurants, markets, beaches and walkways.
The school run differs slightly. From Long Arm Parade, Empire Bay Public School is a 13-minute walk and the Umina secondary campus is a 12-minute drive, with nearby private options including Coast Christian School at an 11-minute drive and Green Point Christian College at a 12-minute drive. From Sirius Street, Empire Bay Public School is a 6-minute drive and the Umina campus is a 10-minute drive, while Woy Woy Public School is a 13-minute walk and Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy Campus is a 17-minute walk. Long Arm Parade has the walk-to-primary edge, while Sirius Street is slightly closer to the secondary campus with extra walkable options toward Woy Woy.
Getting Around and Connections
Transport is largely shared. A single bridge connects St Huberts Island to the mainland, feeding onto the road network that links to Woy Woy and the M1 for Sydney or Newcastle trips. Woy Woy train station and town centre are roughly a 10-minute drive, the Ettalong Wharf to Palm Beach ferry about 35 minutes, and the drive to Sydney around 1 hour 20 minutes. Bus routes 59, 64 and 5364 serve the surrounding area. Neither street has a measured boarding-point distance in the research, so treat transport as even across both.
