"An eclectic rural gem"
Having lived in Rosewood for 3 years now I am very excited about the potential of this well regarded town. My street is home to singles, couples, families and retirees who all take pride in their homes. This town is a rural gem with the benefit of being a short drive to the prosperous city of Ipswich whilst being situated distant enough to enjoy a layback rural lifestyle.
Rosewood offers all the modern conveniences of a large town, beautiful rural scenery, idyllic country pubs and shops, properties from 600sq m to 500 acres, eclectic styles in cottages and houses, a strong emphasis on the local rail and farming history and a burgeoning Equestrian Centre of Excellence.
Conveniently located between Ipswich and Toowoomba with direct rail access to the centre of Brisbane, Rosewood is a popular destination for cyclists, motorcycle clubs and those on a sunday drive in the beautiful Scenic Rim countryside. Rosewood enjoys a fairly quiet atmosphere, with the exception of the regular coal trains and trucks which service the mines industry in the surrounding area. I personally do not find these annoying as I enjoy the sheer grunt and power of the diesel Train engines.
If you are looking for a place to raise your children in fresh air and room to move, want to retire from the 'rat-race' lifestyle of the city and you enjoy a bit of house renovating, then Rosewood is the place for you.
Who lives here?
- Professionals
- Singles

I was going to buy in Rosewood 20 years ago, drove through the main street and saw 2 women having a punch up lol! I I bought in a quiet area of Ipswich, never regretted that, regret selling that house though. I am in Rosewood now, as it is close to my work, and I am not enjoying it one bit. Out of 4 neighbours close to me, only one is friendly, the other 3 are very unfriendly, gossip behind my back, steal, lie, and presume they know the truth in everything concerning my family, when they have not even talked to me at all. I am a very casual friendly person, and have never had trouble with neighbours before, quite the opposite. Can not wait to move back to Ipswich.
Dear Hegatron, you might be a bit sad to hear that the coal trains will more than likely use the inland rail line....but don't worry...you have til 2024-25 to get used to the idea. ..lol.
Rosewood has certainly grown in the just over 2 years I've been here...I think the secret is getting out
Dear Possumw, sorry to hear you haven't had a nice time here. Since I've been here I have found people quite friendly. I don't have school age children, however, my neighbour who has been here just under 2 years has 3 boys, 2 of which attend the primary school and she has nothing but praise for the school.
I walk down the main street in rosewood these days and most of the locals stare at you when you say hi or hello to them, so all I can say is that you people who come from out of town need to learn some manners and respect towards other people
Hi there, i was wondering do you get the undesirable element from ipswich down that way? We are looking for a place which is rural yet still has a train line to the city as i work there.
