How Casa Tranquila in Hampton East takes advantage of the whole of Bayside
The availability of apartments, in quiet pockets in Bayside, is dwindling.
Despite Hampton East's population rising above 5,000 from the 2016 census to the most recently collected census in 2021, the percentage share of apartments declined.
Apartments accounted for over 22 per cent of dwellings in the small 1.4-kilometre squared suburb in 2016. That number has dropped to just over 20 per cent, with the data suggesting just nine extra apartments added over five years.
The lack of apartment supply, especially ones located on a quiet street, makes Casa Tranquila, a rare find.
The project is ideally located to take advantage of local amenities. With its postcode being 3188, the same as Hampton, Casa Tranquila sits on a quiet, leafy corner, but close to a retail precinct and just 300 metres to the closest train station.
"It's a hidden gem in Bayside," Chad Arbid says.
"Hampton East is an affordable Bayside suburb known for parks, the beach, the best schools, shopping strips – like Hampton St, Bay St and Church St, restaurants and cafes, gyms, golf courses and medical centres - all within easy reach. It’s no wonder that the Channel 9 TV show The Block 2023 chose Charming Street - just around the corner from Casa Tranquila - and sold all five houses with record prices."
With this strategic location on King Street, conveniently but quietly set a street back from the South Road thoroughfare, comes a vibrant selection of local retail outlets, cafes, restaurants, and bars, including station-side establishments like Wilbury & Sons, Uncles, Comma Food & Wine, TOAST IT!, 4 Seasons Laksa, and Everwell Medical Centre.
The location of Casa Tranquila also places it within reach of Victoria's premier golf clubs, such as Kingston Heath, Brighton and Royal Melbourne Golf Clubs, all a short drive away.
Nature enthusiasts can explore the nearby green spaces, with Dendy Park and Brighton Beach offering idyllic settings for outdoor activities and relaxation.
Families considering Casa Tranquila will also find themselves in proximity to esteemed educational institutions in Melbourne. Hampton Primary School, St Agnes' School, St Paul's School, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College, St Leonards and Haileybury are all within a convenient short drive from the development.
Designed by Chandler Architecture, Casa Tranquila comprises one, two, and three-bedroom residences. The massive onsite display suite presents a clear indication of the high-end fittings and fixtures that Chandler Architecture envisioned.
