Where can we live?
High quality housing for exceptional affordability
Compared to national real estate averages, Rockhampton’s housing affordability is exceptional. It’s a great place to live, work and raise a family.
Whether you’re looking for an urban riverside inner-city apartment, a classic Queenslander, a homestead on acreage or a modern family home, Rockhampton has a place to belong for everyone. Schools, shopping centres and medical facilities are located in all quadrants of the Region.
Our Central Business District sits between hilly ranges surrounding the city. Heritage buildings integrate into the Riverside Precinct, nestling up against the Fitzroy River. Sprawling residential suburbs surround the city. The current growth corridor is to the north, along both sides of the Bruce Highway.
