Question 1

Is Rosslyn a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Rosslyn centres on Rosslyn Bay Harbour, a working marina and ferry terminal for Great Keppel Island, with a boating and fishing focus.

Rosslyn is an older community where couples without children at home make up 52.8% of families and many households own their homes outright. Local activity clusters around the harbour and a small retail precinct. There are shoreline walks and lookouts, and road links provide straightforward access to Yeppoon's shops, cafes and services. The Rosslyn Bay State Boat Harbour master plan is in draft.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Rosslyn?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Rosslyn run to about $750 a week. A typical local household earned about $1,823 a week at the most recent Census, so $750 a week is roughly 41% of that income, which is a large share of a typical local household's weekly earnings.

If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the figure that matters. Whether that feels expensive will depend on your own income and circumstances.

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