WHY INVEST IN ROSEBERY?
Rosebery sits within the City of Palmerston, one of the Northern Territory’s most popular residential growth areas. Palmerston is the second-largest city in Australia's Northern Territory, located about 20 km south of Darwin. Established in 1981, this planned satellite city is home to over 37,000 residents and the Australian Army's Robertson Barracks. The wider Palmerston region offers a strong lifestyle and amenity base, including four shopping centres, a regional library, a GP Super Clinic, a swimming and fitness centre, sports grounds, water parks, an 18-hole golf course, restaurants and a range of community facilities. That combination of convenience, family appeal and ongoing infrastructure support continues to make the area attractive to investors and owner-occupiers alike.
