Rosewater, SA 5013

This is a suburb that easily is overlooked, it has everything you need at arms length for a great work / life balance. Mostly larger home blocks.

I've lived in Rosewater for 5 years and find it a delightful community to live in.
It's equal parts quirky and historic, and if it just had more parks and gardens it would be absolutely perfect.
We're also spoilt for choice when it comes to food (of all cultures), places to drink with friends and areas to explore.

One of the quieter streets in Rosewater with a mixture of homes from old character railway cottages to single fronted homes. Parking is a little tight on this street but it is close to transport and shopping centres.

Rosewater is a great suburb to live in, have been here for three years now. Although the prices are on the up, it still represents terrific value for money. My wife and I both work in the city, which is under 15 minutes on the train. After work or at weekends, we hop on our bikes and head along the coast before grabbing a coffee. It's the best of both worlds! In Rosewater, everyone's friendly, and with parks and lots of space and good schools, it's also a great place to bring up a family.

Rosewater is a sleeping giant that is slowly waking up. It's on the doorstep of the Port, and is five minutes to the beach, 15 to the city - it's really well situated. Great transport links, schools and shops are available, with train on the doorstep. Peaceful Rosewater has a mixture of beautiful old buildings on large blocks and new houses and is definitely an up-and-coming suburb. We've lived here for nearly three years and would recommend it to anyone, particularly with the Port development/tram sure to boost property prices even more in the future. There's a good community spirit, too, while the suburb also seems to be very popular with investors. We live on the south side of Grand Junction Road, near to Alberton, and find it a lovely area to live in.
