Jessie RichardsonDecember 7, 2020

Units in Melbourne's prestigious bayside suburbs are the state's most expensive, according to new data from the Real Estate Insitute of Victoria.

Brighton East tops the REIV's top 20 most expensive suburbs for units list with a median unit sales price of $862,500 for the December 2013 quarter.

Surrounding suburbs saw high unit prices, with Brighton, Bentleigh East, Bentleigh and Hampton all in the list's top six. Predictably, unit prices in Toorak were also relatively expensive, with a median unit price of $760,000.

Brighton East has seen a number of new unit developments in recent years. This three bedroom, two bathroom apartment at the 200 Dendy Street development is selling with a minimum asking price of $850,000.
