Once a quiet achiever, Bentleigh has grown in reputation over the past few decades to now boast some of the best coffee, shops and eateries in the south-east - and apartment developers have taken note with several impressive low-rise residential projects. 

Green, friendly and thriving on its lovely village vibe, Bentleigh offers a relaxed lifestyle along Melbourne’s south-east and is ever-popular with young couples looking for an enjoyable neighbourhood and growing families wanting to raise their children in the suburb’s leafy streets. 

Who’s next door? Investment properties in a trendy market. 

Going back 10, 15 years, Bentleigh was one of Melbourne’s old school enclaves. Now, Bentleigh still maintains its position as one of our more traditional neighbourhoods, while simultaneously refreshing itself. As a result, more young professionals have moved in - shifting the demographic and bringing with them a demand for coffee, bars, fresh baked goodies and a more youthful vibe - making it the ideal setting for investors looking to buy one or two bedroom investment apartments in the south-eastern suburbs. 

In Bentleigh, you’ll be neighbours with established families in California bungalows on one side and young, urban commuters in contemporary townhouses on the other side - adding to the suburb’s appeal for both owner occupiers and property investors.

An abundance of amenities and parklands 

Relax along any of Bentleigh’s leafy streets. Thanks to an abundance of everyday amenities and a wide selection of schools, families love the area - and there’s a real sense that people move to Bentleigh to stay for a while. 

Add parklands, the beach and an ease of commuting to the city to the equation and Bentleigh offers the kind of residential nirvana Melbourne was built on. Bentleigh is one of the best suburbs for those who like to work hard during the week and take a well-earned break on the weekend - making it especially appealing for property investors. 

The numbers game for Bentleigh’s desirable property market. 

As one of the most desirable suburbs in the area, demand is appropriately high. With anything more than the smallest of homes out of the price range for many first home buyers, getting into the Bentleigh property market will likely be via an apartment, townhouse or townhome. Currently, a 2 bedroom apartment will cost around $500k with a similar apartment sitting at around $430 p/w.
