Reviews of Rokeby, TAS
"Great value"
You can’t beat Rokeby, at this price point, this close to the city. Because of that, it is gentrifying.
"Rokeby is moving in healthy direction."
Rokeby is changing since we moved in 3 years ago. There was a lot property to choose when we looking to buy. But now since it is comparatively 100k cheaper than most of suburb, every property was sold so quickly. Our neighbour also sold her house before the formal Saturday inspections. She was offered cash payment at private inspection. Part Rokeby doesn't have view but I would say it is a place for family.
Great for
- Quite and lots of green land.
- Best Skate Park Statewide
- Home of International Skakeboard Competition
Not great for
- 10 minutes drive from the closest shopping centre.

"Changing Reputation"
Rokeby has been attempting to change its reputation over the past couple of decades. The increase in private home ownership has been assisting in reversing its downward trend. Its development of the skate park and the international skateboard competition has sought to give youths another outlet other than crime. The jury is still out though as to whether this community can be turned around.
