Highett has quietly become one of Bayside’s most in-demand suburbs, offering a more affordable entry point into the area while still enjoying easy access to the beach and city.
The property market here reflects a suburb in transition — solid brick veneer homes from the 1950s and 60s on generous blocks, a wave of new townhouse developments as older properties are subdivided, and low-rise apartments springing up around Highett station and the Bay Road precinct.
Buyers might be weighing up a family home near Highett Reserve, a modern townhouse close to the shops and cafes along Bay Road, or an apartment within walking distance of the train line for an easy commute into the city.
With its proximity to Sandringham and Cheltenham, ongoing urban renewal, and strong community feel, Highett continues to attract young families, first-home buyers, and investors drawn to its bayside credentials without the price tag of neighbouring suburbs.
