Hawthorn East Property Market
& Suburb Profile

While enjoying the prestige of its famous neighbour, the suburb is defined by its slightly more spacious feel and a housing stock that features beautiful period homes, particularly Edwardian and Californian Bungalows, interspersed with executive-style modern townhouses and low-rise apartment developments, attracting established families and professionals.

The lifestyle is exceptionally convenient, bordering the vibrant Camberwell Junction precinct and containing the well-regarded Tooronga Village Shopping Centre, ensuring residents have access to high-end retail, diverse dining options, and essential services right on their doorstep.

Education is a primary drawcard, with excellent local schools, including Auburn South Primary School and proximity to many of Melbourne’s elite private institutions, which significantly supports long-term property demand.

Connectivity is a major strength, with Tooronga Train Station and Auburn Train Station nearby, along with extensive tram routes along Toorak and Riversdale Roads, providing seamless and rapid access to the city, complemented by direct access to the Monash Freeway (M1).

For investors, Hawthorn East represents a secure, blue-chip market where the combination of premier location, superb transport links, high amenity, and strong owner-occupier demand ensures robust capital growth and stable rental returns for both houses and quality units.
