Is it expensive to live in Rosehill?

Renting in Rosehill would take a noticeable slice of a typical local household's pay. A typical local household earned about $1,763 a week at the most recent Census, so a house rent of $780 a week would take about 44% of that weekly income, while a unit rent of $550 a week would take about 31%. On the buying side, the median unit price of $537,500 works out to about 5.9 times a typical local annual household income, which sits somewhat above what local households earned at the last Census. Whether that feels expensive depends on whether you plan to rent or buy and on your own circumstances. Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
