Rosebery is a rapidly evolving suburb, offering a mix of industrial charm and modern urban living. It’s a place where you can find great food, cool cafés, and leafy streets, all within a stone’s throw from the city. Over the past 15-20 years, Rosebery has undergone a transformation, attracting a diverse mix of residents. A few of my favourite things about Rosebery:

The Cannery: A former industrial site turned food hub, The Cannery is home to some of the best dining and artisan coffee in the area. Whether you’re grabbing a bite at Three Blue Ducks or picking up fresh produce, it’s a local hotspot for foodies. Home to markets on the first Saturday and Sunday of the month, plus bonus points for being dog friendly.

Sweetacres Park: A quiet, green retreat perfect for a morning jog or a weekend picnic. The park has plenty of open space, as well as a playground for the kids and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it feel like a hidden gem.

BlackStar Pastry: Known for its mouth watering pastries, BlackStar Pastry is a must-visit for a delicious start to your day. Their strawberry watermelon cake is legendary!

The Green Square Library: A modern architectural gem, the Green Square Library is not only a great place to study, but it also hosts regular community events, making it a key cultural hub for the area.

Rosebery Property

In terms of property buying, Rosebery has been on the rise in recent years. While the southern side near Epsom Park is more tranquil, the northern end near Green Square offers easy access to transport and more urban energy.

If you’re looking to purchase an apartment in Rosebery then here’s my advice:

• Find a specific apartment that has a unique feature e.g. an over sized outdoor space. This will help distinguish your asset from the thousands of other apartments in the suburb

• Ensure you completely understand the strata risks and issues. Some of the apartment blocks in Rosebery have a less than desirable track record. For more info on this, check out our page on strata reports here.

Rosebery is a neighbourhood that perfectly balances convenience with calm, offering a mix of modern living, green spaces, and great food, making it an increasingly sought-after place to live.
