Navigate local property complexities with confidence
There has been ongoing luxury townhouse and boutique apartment development, particularly replacing older homes on large blocks. Activity has increased around Bay Street and Church Street, with mixed-use projects adding retail and residential options.
Proximity to the bay brings lifestyle appeal but also higher property maintenance costs due to salt air, corrosion, and exposure to sea breezes. Insurance premiums may also be higher for waterfront homes.
Luxury townhouse and apartment projects are reshaping parts of Brighton. While this adds housing diversity, it also increases density in some areas and may impact privacy, streetscape, and local amenity.
While the beach and shopping strips are highly attractive, they bring congestion and parking challenges, particularly on weekends and during summer. Properties close to major roads may also be affected by noise.
Median house price $3.155 million. Highly competitive, with luxury homes and beachside properties commanding premium prices.
Strong buyer demand, particularly for period homes within walking distance of Sydney Road and trams.
Median unit price $1.3 million. Remains one of Melbourne’s strongest, underpinned by its exclusivity, lifestyle appeal, and enduring demand from buyers.

Most contracts settle in 30, 60 or 90 days. Timing depends on what’s agreed in the contract, your finance approval, and any special conditions (e.g., building/pest). We drive the process, keep everyone aligned, and let you know if anything could affect your settlement date.
Brighton is expected to remain a blue-chip suburb, with strong prestige demand and limited supply supporting property values. The market for luxury apartments and downsizer-friendly homes is expanding, while heritage and beachside homes will continue to command a premium.
Brighton properties enjoy long-term capital growth and prestige appeal, underpinned by limited supply and high demand. Rental demand is strong from executives, expats, and families seeking proximity to the beach and top schools, though rental yields are typically lower due to high property values.
Brighton offers beachside living, elite schools, luxury homes, and vibrant shopping precincts. Its famous Brighton Bathing Boxes, foreshore paths, and proximity to the CBD make it a lifestyle destination as much as a residential suburb.
