Frenchville houses for sale have so much appeal due to the suburb’s location, lovely surroundings, community and liveability.
Here’s our take on this gem of a suburb:
About Frenchville
Located in the 4701 postcode, Frenchville is home to around 10,000 people. It sits adjacent to Mount Archer National Park and is just around ten minutes from central Rockhampton by car.
Homes in this suburb sit partly on the flat area and partly up the ‘hillside’ of Mount Archer. As a whole, the district is largely owner-occupied, partly because it is in the Frenchville High School catchment, which is highly sought after by local residents.
Frenchville is seen as one of the most covetable postcodes in Rockhampton because it is family-focused, has lovely leafy streets and has access to beautiful walks in the National Park and nearby Kershaw Gardens.
It is a very short distance to beautiful vantage points where you can see across the whole of the district.
Adventure and outdoor enthusiasts who are based in Frenchville love living close to First Turkey Mountain Bike Park. This destination has a well-maintained set of trails that are designed to suit riders of all abilities.
There is also a growing ‘best kept secret’ restaurant and cafe scene, as well as some beautiful heritage-style, tree-lined streets.
