Belle Property

Hampton’s easy, coastal lifestyle. Family-friendly Hampton has quietly evolved into a trendy, relaxed neighbourhood complete with a growing café and dining scene – a taste of suburban paradise by the sea. When you set foot in Hampton it’s hard to believe you’re still in metropolitan Melbourne. Long a retreat for city dwellers looking to bathe or picnic by the sea, what was once a holiday destination is now a prized urban postcode. And despite being located just 14km from the CBD, summery Hampton feels like a world away. Therefore, it will come as no surprise that locals don’t venture outside its borders in a hurry. Hampton Street, the buzzy main shopping strip, boasts more than 50 cafés, boutiques and restaurants. Then, there’s the beach. Arguably one of the best the city has to offer, Hampton Beach is lovely and very much the place to be come summertime. Further adding to the neighbourhood’s family-friendly feel is the abundance of parks, leafy streets and spacious homes. With its holiday vibe and beautiful homes, it’s no surprise that everyone wants a piece of this charming Bayside community.
