Edithvale is a quiet beachside suburb on the Frankston train line, sandwiched between the bay and the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands. It offers an unspoiled coastal lifestyle at more accessible price points than the inner bay suburbs.

About the Suburb

Edithvale at a glance

Edithvale is a quiet Kingston beach suburb that sits between Chelsea and Aspendale, a small, genuinely coastal community where the beach, the wetlands and the train station form a simple but complete lifestyle proposition. Blocks run 450–600 m² and the housing stock is predominantly modest, creating strong conditions for architecturally resolved new builds that respect the suburb's natural coastal setting. The Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands, visible from many streets, make this one of the most naturally scenic of Melbourne's bayside communities.

Lifestyle & Community

Edithvale Beach is calm, family-friendly and rarely crowded, a genuine neighbourhood beach.

The wetlands reserve provides outstanding birdwatching and walking infrastructure, and Chelsea's broader retail and dining offer is minutes away.
