Brighton's top four off the plan apartments and townhouses for sale in October 2023
Long before European settlement, the area now known as Brighton was inhabited by the Bunurong people, who lived along the coastline to utilize the abundant marine resources for sustenance.
The area became farmland following European settlement in the early 1800s. The 1840s marked the beginning of significant growth in Brighton, largely due to the introduction of a regular steamer service between Melbourne and the coastal suburb. This service made it easier for people to travel to and from the city and helped to boost the area's popularity.
More development came and the suburb started to become a playground for Melbourne's well-heeled. Streets were, and the majority still are, lined with distinctive Victorian and Edwardian architecture. Now they're mixed with striking contemporary new build houses, and now more recently new apartment and townhouse developments seeking to create a different dwelling type that caters for a wider target market.
Brighton has been particularly popular in recent years, with some apartment developments recently completing. There's a solid pipeline of new apartments and townhouses in the affluent suburb as well as it continues to be dragged into the 21st century.
We've wrapped up a list of the top apartments and townhouses in the bayside suburb for sale in October 2023.
