Question 1

Is Rockyview a nice place to live?

Rockyview is a semi-rural suburb on Rockhampton's outskirts with open paddocks, native trees and a mix of acreage blocks, hobby farms and timber cottages.

Residents tend to have incomes above the Queensland median, many are buying their homes and the community includes many families with children, with 53.7% of families classed as couples with children. Local roads connect Rockyview with Rockhampton for shops, schools and community services, cafés are a short drive away, and the council has opened a new community playground at Dick Olive Park featuring a climbing dome, an all-abilities group swing and a shaded picnic area.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Rockyview?

Accepted Answer

A typical household in Rockyview had a median weekly household income of about $2,897 at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Rockyview to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents, so it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live here compared with local incomes.
