Question 1

Is Roelands a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Roelands is a quiet rural-residential locality in Western Australia’s South West, set in an agricultural landscape of farmland, lifestyle blocks and pockets of native bush. That relaxed countryside character appeals to families, hobby farmers and commuters who value space. Housing ranges from older farmhouses to more recent rural properties, and the small community numbers 938 people with a median age of 40 and a typical household income of $2,473 a week ($128,596 a year).

Local services are modest, so residents commonly rely on nearby towns for shopping, schools and healthcare, while road links including the South Western Highway connect Roelands to surrounding river valleys and outdoor recreation. Owner-occupation is dominant, with about nine in ten homes owner-occupied (33.0% owned outright and 57.1% with a mortgage) and 9.9% rented. A local structure plan guides subdivision and there are place-making and community upgrade initiatives under way, including plans for an entry statement artwork and consultation on renewing the small skate park and play space.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Roelands?

Accepted Answer

In Roelands there haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents. Without current price or rent figures, it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live here compared with local household incomes as recorded at the most recent Census.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Question 3

Is Roelands a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer
