Overview

Rokeby sits on Hobart’s eastern Derwent River shore within the City of Clarence, evolving from the 19th‑century Rokeby House farmstead into a largely public‑housing suburb in the 1970s. Originally modelled on mid‑century U.S. public‑housing schemes, the neighbourhood is now seeing a shift toward owner‑occupancy, with property values rising sharply as the Hobart housing boom continues.

Residents enjoy a strong community feel anchored by historic sites such as St Matthew’s Anglican Church, a traditional picket‑fence cricket ground, and the Rokeby Historic Trail. The suburb boasts one of Tasmania’s premier skate parks, the Tasmania Police Academy, and nearby schools including Bayview Secondary College and John Paul II Catholic School. Easy access to the South Arm Highway links Rokeby to the greater Hobart area, while local amenities like Rokeby Fire Station and Rokeby Beach support an active, outdoor lifestyle.
