Mortgage broker moves to Rockingham and finds much more than he bargained for.
Rockingham, WA, 20 June 2016 - When mortgage broker Justin Smith opened The Mortgage Gallery Rockingham, he was happy for the opportunity to expand his burgeoning business. But he has been more successful than even he first thought he would be and he attributes it to the people of Rockingham. According to Mr Smith:
“I loved going to school here, but it was as a professional mortgage broker that I learned to truly appreciate what a great place Rockingham is to live and work.”
Rockingham was a popular “sea change” destination and according to a 2015 survey, it is still a popular destination for people moving from Perth’s inner ring suburbs for a slower tempo. Neighbouring Baldivis was the fastest growing suburb in WA from 2013-2014 and Kwinana is also a popular suburb.
Rockingham, Baldivis and Kwinana are all known as family-friendly suburbs. People in the Rockingham area tend to be friendly and welcoming to newcomers. While they have grown in size, they have retained their small-town charm. People in Rockingham aren’t always in a hurry. Those who move to Rockingham and commute to Perth feel as though they are coming home to an oasis of serenity, far away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Rockingham is located on the Indian Ocean, 47 km SSW of Perth. It is on the Mandurah Rail Line, which provides commuters with an easy ride to the Perth CBD. It once had an economy dominated by tourism but increasing population has brought infrastructure to Rockingham, creating more jobs in a variety of industries.
Many Rockingham residents feel that Rockingham combines the infrastructure and access of a big city with the charm and easy living of a small town. Besides being family-friendly, Rockingham is known for its watersports. There are ample opportunities for boating, fishing, sailing, swimming, snorkelling, jet packing, jet skiing, wakeboarding, paddleboarding and kitesurfing.
Rockingham is also home to numerous historical attractions, restaurants, cafes and even a winery. There are also world class golf courses and plenty of inland parks. One of the more popular attractions is Shoalwater Islands Marine Park, a chain of limestone islands strewn among sandy beaches and pristine bays. Tourists and residents alike are enamoured of the dolphin interaction tour, in which humans swim alongside friendly bottle-nosed dolphins.
According to Mr Smith:”Rockingham is a place that grows on people quickly. It really has everything you need. The people are very friendly and the pace of living is not as fast as it is closer to Perth. It’s no surprise that we have such a high rate of growth. That growth in Rockingham, Baldivis and Kwinana make it highly likely that people who do move here or buy investment properties benefit from long term capital growth.”
Mr Smith concluded: In Rockingham, you get a great lifestyle with friendly people and your property provides capital growth. It doesn’t get much better than that.”
