What’s to love in Bentleigh

A hidden gem located 13km southeast of the CBD, Bentleigh is a place where locals find the perfect harmony between peaceful suburbia and urban convenience. Here you’ll enjoy proximity to pristine beaches, such as Brighton, Hampton and Sandringham, where you can soak up the sun or simply take a leisurely stroll along the shoreline.

The neighbourhood's excellent schools, recreational facilities, and local amenities make it an ideal place to raise a family, providing a nurturing environment for children to thrive. The nearby Chadstone Shopping Centre provides extensive retail, entertainment, and dining options. Serviced by Bentleigh station on the Frankston train line, as well as a range of bus routes, this suburb is well-connected in more ways than one.
