About The Range
Welcome to The Range
The Range sits immediately south-west of the Rockhampton CBD, draped across the escarpment that gives the suburb its name. It's one of Rockhampton's oldest and most distinctive residential areas, known for its leafy streets, elevated outlooks and a strong stock of character homes that climb the hillside above Allenstown and the city centre.
With a population of 5,231 and a median age of 38, The Range has long appealed to families and professionals wanting a heritage feel and genuine walkability to the city, without giving up space or street appeal. It suits buyers drawn to established gardens, high-set Queenslanders and a slower, established-neighbourhood pace, while still being minutes from Rockhampton's shops, schools and services.
Lifestyle & dining
Life on The Range revolves around its hillside streets and proximity to Rockhampton's city centre, where much of the suburb's day-to-day dining and socialising happens. Cafes, pubs and restaurants in Rockhampton City and along the fringes of Allenstown are only a short drive or walk down the hill, giving residents easy access to a broader hospitality scene without the noise of living right in it.
The suburb itself is quieter and more residential, with tree-lined streets and older-style homes that give it a settled, community feel. It's the kind of place where neighbours know each other, and the elevated positions of many blocks offer views back over the city and out towards the Berserker Range.
Getting around
The Range's location just south-west of the CBD is one of its biggest drawcards for commuters. It's a short drive into Rockhampton City and across to Rockhampton itself, with Allenstown and West Rockhampton bordering the suburb and providing additional connector roads into the wider city grid.
Because of the hillside topography, streets tend to wind and rise rather than run in a strict grid, but this rarely adds much time to trips into town. Being so close to the CBD also means residents have good access to Rockhampton's regional bus network, and the Bruce Highway corridor is within easy reach for those travelling further afield.
Schools & families
The Range's mix of established homes and quiet streets has traditionally made it popular with families, and its central location means schooling options in and around Rockhampton and Allenstown are all close by. Being wedged between the CBD and surrounding residential suburbs, families here benefit from short runs to schools rather than long cross-town commutes.
With a median age of 38, the suburb carries a good spread of long-term residents and younger households, and the walkable distance to Rockhampton City's services, medical facilities and sporting facilities adds to its appeal for people raising children or planning to.
Housing & architecture
Housing on The Range is dominated by houses, which make up 83% of current listings, reflecting the suburb's character as a hillside residential area rather than a unit or townhouse hub. Townhouses account for 6% of listings and apartments just 2%, while land listings sit at 9%, offering a small window for those wanting to build in an established pocket.
Architecturally, the suburb is known for its older Queenslanders and post-war homes, many set on elevated blocks that take advantage of the hillside for views and breezes. This mix of heritage housing stock alongside occasional newer builds gives The Range a streetscape that feels distinct from the flatter, newer suburbs further from the city.
The property market
The Range's median house price currently sits at $670,000, following growth of 16.3% recently — a strong run that reflects buyer appetite for character homes close to the Rockhampton CBD. Median rent is $580 a week, pointing to solid demand from tenants wanting the suburb's convenience and established feel.
With houses making up the vast majority of listings and only a small proportion of land, townhouses and apartments available, buyers are largely competing for existing homes rather than new stock. That scarcity of alternative dwelling types, combined with the suburb's proximity to the city, has been a key driver behind recent price growth and continues to underpin demand.
