Aspendale Property Market
& Suburb Profile

Aspendale is defined by its pristine, wide sandy beach, extensive parklands, and its unique history as the site of a former world-class racecourse, which gives the suburb its name and a legacy of spacious, character-filled residential blocks.

The lifestyle in Aspendale revolves around the outdoors and the suburb's exceptional natural amenity. Aspendale Beach is frequently cited by locals as one of the best in Port Phillip Bay, featuring a 3-kilometre stretch of flat sand, historic beach huts, and shallow waters that make it ideal for swimming and family outings. The Aspendale Life Saving Club serves as a central social and safety hub on the foreshore. Inland, the suburb is home to the Rossdale Golf Club and expansive green spaces like Aspendale Park and the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands, which offer a network of walking and cycling trails that connect the community to neighbouring suburbs.

Education is a primary drawcard for the area, with the suburb offering several highly regarded options including Aspendale Primary School (an International Baccalaureate World School) and St Louis de Montfort’s Primary School. Residents also benefit from being in the catchment for Mordialloc Secondary College and having easy access to prestigious private schools in nearby Mentone. For daily essentials and dining, the local shopping strips on Station Street and Laura Street provide a selection of cafes and specialty stores, while the larger retail and dining precincts of Mordialloc and Chelsea are just minutes away.

Connectivity is excellent, with the Aspendale Railway Station on the Frankston line providing a direct rail link to the city. The suburb is also well-integrated into the bus network and offers a straightforward commute via the Nepean Highway or the nearby Mornington Peninsula Freeway and EastLink.

From a property perspective, Aspendale is a stable and highly desirable "blue-chip" market characterised by a very high owner-occupation rate. The housing stock is a prestigious mix of beautifully preserved mid-century homes, modern luxury residences along the beachfront, and contemporary townhouse developments.

Residents typically hold their properties for long periods, fostering a secure and settled community atmosphere. The suburb’s combination of direct beach access, quality schooling, and transport links ensures it remains a resilient and high-performing residential enclave in Melbourne's south.
