Suburb profile
Rosedale is a welcoming smaller community in Barossa, with a settled community character. Life revolves around the local community, with the wider region offering trips and services when needed. Long-term locals and family households define much of the community, with a strong presence of young families throughout.
Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.
Infill and new builds are slowly updating the area without overwhelming its existing character.
