Suburb profile
Set among the hills of Glamorgan-Spring Bay, Rocky Hills is a smaller community with bushland views and a cooler, leafier feel. Set in the wider countryside, it offers distance from the capital and a strong sense of place. Ridge-top pockets and tree cover give the area a cooler, greener hillside feel.
A mature community gives the area a calm, settled social fabric, with a community of people who commute and work locally. The town centre holds its own, with enough local flavour to make staying close to home appealing. There is enough green space nearby for walks, picnics and after-school play.
Housing remains accessible compared with many parts of the state. Tree-lined streets and established homes set the tone, with little pressure to reinvent the neighbourhood.
