Launceston, TAS 7250

Twice crime rate of Hobart. Mayor, premier please sort it out. Youth crime fuelled by drugs, theft of copper pipe from properties and car theft and burnings. Noisy boy racers Friday and Saturday nights. Bogans galore.
Don't get me wrong, fabulous eateries, gardens, cafes, library, archives, galleries, sushi bars, beer boutiques, wineries, cataract gorge, beautiful architecture and tidy city centre, gorgeous parks and a great museum. Utas and the esk river.
Please sort out the crime and create more jobs

Launceston, Tasmania’s second-largest city, combines historic charm with modern living. Set along the Tamar River, this city is renowned for its well-preserved Victorian architecture, beautiful parks, and vibrant arts scene. Launceston is home to a variety of cultural attractions, such as the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery and the Cataract Gorge, offering stunning natural beauty right in the city. With a thriving food and wine culture, excellent schools, and comprehensive healthcare facilities, Launceston provides a high quality of life for its residents. The city’s strong sense of community and ongoing developments make it an attractive destination for both families and professionals.

In contrast to most reviews here, which seems to be made by real estate agents, I would like to offer a genuine opinion on Launceston.
It has the potential to be a great town, with good facilities, convenience, interesting events and affordable housing BUT in the 30 years I've been visiting (I now live here) almost nothing has been achieved with bringing road hoons under control.
So, if you enjoy living near a retro-city that sounds like a noisy race track at least 4 nights a week, sharing your town with young and old alike who get off on the sounds of noisy car and motorbike exhausts, and a location where authorities show almost complete disinterest in bringing this problem under control - choose Launceston! Otherwise I would recommend Hobart.

I lived here and found it easy to walk around, architecturally sensitive, with a good museum and art gallery, gorge, restaurants and shops. The people are friendly. Easy parking and an accessible city.

Quiet small town with a vibrant cbd and beautiful nature!

Launceston is a lovely city that has been my home for 29 years! Growing up in the area has been a treat as Launceston boasts all the conveniences possible without the big city, cramped feel. Launceston is home to many wonders including the Cataract Gorge, Tamar Wetlands and also the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery as well as beautiful range of cafes, bars and restaurants. Launceston has many parks and bike and walking tracks for families and adventurers alike.

The heading should actually read, 'what's not to love about Launceston'. I have lived in this beautiful city all of my life and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. It may be a small town, but the saying is true about great things coming in small packages! My favourite places include the iconic Cataract Gorge, the stunning vineyards in every direction and the mind-blowing coastlines and beaches. We also have the very best restaurants and cafe's and in my opinion the best coffee in the world! Ok, so I haven't tried everywhere in the world but I am sure we are in the top 10!

As the owner of a Property Management business in Launceston and working in the Real Estate industry for almost 25 years, I am lucky enough to assist people looking to invest or finding homes for people moving to our State. Living in Launceston is simple, safe and it has such a great community spirit.

Launceston is Tasmania's second major city and a vibrant hub for food and wine, culture and nature. Locally born i am very passionate about the amazing city that we live in. Being a local Launceston property manager i am able to continually grow my knowledge and share it with everyone. This wonderful place offers a variety of old and new, my must see and do recommendations - the Launceston Cataract Gorge , Tamar Valley wine tour, the seaport and city tour. If you are looking to settle down in a low key city that still offers a range of different living styles plus it super safe for all ages, this is defiantly the place for you.

Launceston has been my home for 37 years! It is a charming town with a beautiful mix of old and new, it is full of history and new development. The Cataract Gorge, Tamar River and the many vineyards just add to the charm of this beautiful city. It is super safe for families and has so much to offer the younger generation with great parks and bike tracks!
