This exclusive enclave has maintained its status as the city's premier address for over a century, characterised by tree-lined boulevards, grand period mansions, and an atmosphere of refined elegance that attracts Melbourne's elite.

    Property Market

    The suburb commands some of Melbourne's highest property values, with grand Victorian and Edwardian mansions dominating the landscape alongside luxury apartments and contemporary developments. Prices consistently rank well above the metropolitan median across all property types. The market attracts both local and international buyers seeking blue-chip real estate in Melbourne's most coveted postal code.

    How to Research a Suburb

    Understanding the Numbers

    Median house price represents the middle sale in a period — not the average. Rental yield is annual rent divided by property value. Vacancy rate below 3% indicates strong tenant demand. Annual growth shows 12-month price change — not a guarantee of future performance.

    What to Research Before Buying

    Check council zoning and DA restrictions, flood and bushfire overlays on state planning portals, infrastructure pipeline (rail, roads, schools), employer concentration (single-industry suburbs carry higher risk), and auction clearance rates (above 70% signals a seller's market).

    Due Diligence Checklist

    • ☐ Building and pest inspection
    • ☐ Strata report (if applicable)
    • ☐ Contract review by conveyancer
    • ☐ Comparable sales in last 90 days
    • ☐ Rental vacancy rate
    • ☐ Council rates and water rates
    • ☐ Body corporate fees (if applicable)
