Roxburgh Park Attracts Buyers With New Transport Links and Public Facilities

Roxburgh Park recorded a 14 per cent rise in median house prices through the first six months of 2026, reaching $712,000 according to local sales data compiled by Roxburgh Park Real Estate Group.

The increase tracks directly with the scheduled opening of the Roxburgh Park Link Road extension in September, which will cut travel times to the industrial precincts along Somerton Road. Buyers now treat the suburb as a practical base rather than a fringe option.

Local agents report steady inspections at listings on Bridgewater Drive and near the Roxburgh Park Recreation Reserve, where families cite the new community hub as a deciding factor. The Roxburgh Park Library and Learning Centre, which reopened after upgrades in March, has also pulled in residents who previously commuted from further out.

Transport upgrades reshape daily movement

The link road project forms part of the broader Roxburgh Park Infrastructure Upgrade Program announced last November. It adds two new roundabouts and a dedicated bus lane that connects directly to the existing Roxburgh Park Station on the regional line. Commuters who once faced 35-minute drives to employment zones now measure the trip in under 20 minutes during peak hours.

Construction crews completed the final asphalt pour on the northern section last week. Council records show the full route will open to traffic on 15 September, ahead of the original December target.

Prices and buyer activity provide concrete signals

Four properties on Bridgewater Drive sold above asking price in June, with the highest reaching $785,000 for a four-bedroom house on a 650-square-metre block. That compares with three sales in the same month last year that averaged $662,000. Investor purchases accounted for 38 per cent of transactions, according to settlement figures lodged with the state titles office.

Prospective buyers should check the council website for the final traffic management plan before the September opening. Early contracts are already including clauses that tie settlement dates to the road completion to avoid any last-minute access issues.
