Question 1

Is Rossmoyne a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Rossmoyne sits along the Swan River with riverfront reserves, leafy streets and plenty of riverside green space. Housing is mostly established detached homes on generous blocks, many renovated to add contemporary living areas and outdoor entertaining. Several riverfront lots have boating access and water views, and walking and cycling paths, parks and local shops and cafés make outdoor life and day-to-day errands easy, with straightforward connections to nearby commercial centres and public transport.

The community is weighted towards families, with couple families with children making up 52.9% of families and 83.9% of homes owner-occupied. A major redevelopment of Rossmoyne Senior High School is under way, local transit planning has identified a high-priority corridor for future rapid transit, and foreshore and river-restoration works are in progress, including plans to plant around 7,000 native plants. Whether that suits you will come down to whether you want a riverside, family-weighted suburb with established housing and active local projects.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Rossmoyne?

Accepted Answer

Rent is the clearest figure to use for Rossmoyne: houses average $950 a week. Against a typical local household income of $2,146 a week as recorded at the last Census, that rent would take about 44.3% of income, which is a large share for a household. If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the number that matters; whether it feels expensive depends 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.

Question 3

Is Rossmoyne a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Rossmoyne climbed 19.4% over the past 12 months, a strong rise in what houses are worth. House rents rose 6.1% over the same period, a solid increase in rental income.

That means capital growth was the stronger performer this year while rental income increased more modestly. If rental income is your priority, the 6.1% rent rise is the figure that matters; if capital growth matters more, focus on the 19.4% value change. Whether that balance suits your goals and circumstances is for you to judge.
