About Edithvale
Edithvale is a bayside suburb on Melbourne's south-eastern coastal fringe, located approximately 35 kilometres from the CBD within the City of Kingston. Sitting at just 7 metres above sea level on a compact 2.1 square kilometre footprint, the suburb has a population of 6,276 with a median age of 40 and a median household income of $2,101 per week. The community is predominantly Anglo-Australian, with an established family demographic reflected in quality housing stock and a very low social housing rate of 1.2 per cent.
Edithvale is flanked by the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands, a Ramsar-listed conservation area popular with birdwatchers and nature lovers, and sits adjacent to Port Phillip Bay's foreshore to the east. The suburb is served by the Frankston railway line, offering direct train access to Melbourne's CBD and onward connections to the Mornington Peninsula. With a relaxed bayside character, strong community feel, and a desirable location between the bay and the wetlands, Edithvale appeals to families and sea-changers seeking a coastal lifestyle within commuting distance of the city.
