15 Thomas Street, Hampton

Bayside remains one of Melbourne’s most resilient residential markets, with its middle-ring suburbs, stretching from Brighton through to Beaumaris, continuing to see strong demand from long-time locals who do not want to leave the region.

While larger homes have long defined the streetscapes, the past few years have brought a clear shift towards smaller-scale, design-led developments tailored to the needs of the Bayside local. According to the latest ABS Census data, nearly 40 per cent of Bayside’s 110,000 residents are over 50. While there is no strictly defined age at which people downsize, 50 is often a point where those who had children in their 30s begin to see them leave the family home.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/noorden">Noorden</a> Real Estate director David Lamond says downsizers make up the majority of his enquiries, with buyers prioritising local amenity and low maintenance over sheer size.

“Those approaching 60 who have been in the property market for two to three decades do not need to wait any longer to downsize,” Lamond says. “They have been through several market cycles, and their homes have multiplied in value four or five times over that period. Good-quality new homes are coming to Bayside, allowing long-time locals to stay in the area while moving into something more manageable and at a small percentage? of the price of their now oversized and under-used family home.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140140 project_image_fid=219620]

All buyers at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/marlu-hampton-29-service-street-hampton-vic-3188">Marlu Hampton</a>, a boutique development of just seven luxury townhomes by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/thomas-constructions">Thomas Constructions</a> and designed by David Dubois, are local downsizers. The substantial homes, offering more than 260 square metres of internal space and a lift servicing all three levels, are attracting multi-generational families as well as households with older children preparing to leave home.

The project’s success is also closely tied to its walkable setting. From Service Street, it is an eight-minute stroll to Hampton’s dog-friendly beach, passing cafés such as Merry Men and Brown Cow, with the Sandringham Yacht Club just beyond. The area is also well served by parks, public and private schools, and the retail amenity of Hampton Street.

Four of the seven townhomes are already spoken for, ahead of their early 2027 completion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112854 project_image_fid=350992]

Elsewhere in Bayside, David Lamond is also seeing a different type of downsizer emerge. While many want something only slightly smaller than the family home, others are looking to significantly reduce their footprint.

“There is a cohort of downsizers who truly want to downsize,” David Lamond says. “They are seeking a lock-and-leave apartment where two or three bedrooms, space for entertaining, and a balcony are more than enough. They are redirecting the proceeds from their family home into superannuation, retirement planning or travel, rather than another large home.”

This trend is evident nearby at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lumin-hampton-26-crisp-street-hampton-vic-3188">Luminè</a> on Crisp Street, a development of just 15 two and three-bedroom apartments. Located within walking distance of Hampton Beach and the everyday amenity of Hampton Street, it reflects the same underlying demand driving Marlu: highly liveable homes in familiar territory. Completion at Luminè is scheduled for early 2027, with prices starting from $1,175,000.

The interiors exude elegance and sophistication, featuring Liebherr integrated fridges, gas fireplaces, underfloor heating in all bathrooms, and two car spaces in a secure lock-up basement garage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93042 project_image_fid=193037]

The development is ideally situated at 14-16 Grenville Street, just a short walk away from the <a href="/developments/hampton-vic-3188">vibrant Hampton Street shopping strip</a>, where residents can indulge in a variety of cafes, restaurants, and boutique retailers.

A look into the remaining apartments at Soul Hampton

Having quietly evolved as one of the most sought-after suburbs in the Bayside area, the streets of Hampton are now home to some of Melbourne’s most exclusive and luxury residential projects.

On the fringes of the enviable Brighton, Hampton has positioned itself as offering the same exclusive Bayside lifestyle, at a more affordable price point than some of the high-end Melbourne suburbs carry.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93042 project_image_fid=193034]

Differentiating itself from the larger projects on the market in the area, the Riva Ridge-developed&nbsp;Soul Hampton offers just eight apartments across the site.

The group engaged locals, Finnis Architecture and Interiors to design the building, with the apartments incorporating&nbsp;natural stone and veneer timber paneling,&nbsp;packed with fine finishes and appliances.

Half of the residences have sold across the project, with local downsizers taking up the stock.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93042 project_image_fid=193039]

David Lamond from project marketer Noorden said Soul has seen very high interest from locals, who are looking to downsize without compromising on space and luxurious features.

“This is the ideal development where you can lock up and go away for the weekend or two.&nbsp;As small boutique developments are becoming harder to come by, this is a great time to secure your home whether it be downsizing or securing your luxurious Bayside Melbourne residence,” Lamond said.

“The people who have purchased so far are loving the idea of being so close to the Beach and part of only eight&nbsp;luxury homes. I am looking forward to working with each and every one of them through the process of Soul coming to life."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93042 project_image_fid=197035]

Just two expansive, two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments remain in Soul Hampton, along with a three-bedroom residence and an exclusive penthouse.

The two-bedroom apartments span 123 sqm, benefitting from an additional home office/study space.

The three-bedder finds its place on the ground floor of Soul Hampton, covering 146 sqm, adjoining to a large outdoor garden, with two-bathrooms, while the penthouse tops Soul Hampton, with views across the Bay, spanning 137 sqm, with home office/study space and two-bathrooms.

Riva Ridge apartments, Soul Hampton hit 50 per cent sold

Hampton has quietly evolved as a sought-after suburb in Melbourne's Bayside area.

On the fringes of the ever unaffordable Brighton, Hampton has positioned itself as offering the same exclusive Bayside lifestyle without the high-end price point that Brighton will always carry.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93042 project_image_fid=193034]

Differentiating itself from the larger projects on the market in the area, Soul Hampton offers just eight apartments in the Riva Ridge developed project, with the group engaging Finnis Architecture and Interiors to design the building.

Finnis' Associate Director, Damon Hills, said&nbsp;the brief for Soul Hampton was for large residences with a wow factor worthy of the Hamptons location.

"Hampton is a coastal suburb and so we wanted to play on the notion of what that meant when thinking about a multi residential offering," Hills said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93042 project_image_fid=193039]

Finnis has stuck to utilising the same brick features seen throughout other projects they've collaborated with Riva Ridge on, with the solidity and sense of permanence a striking feature.&nbsp;

"For this project we wanted the brick to be the hero material throughout Soul Hampton and so we've incorporated&nbsp;arches, showcasing the honest textural nature of the brick, with the feature bringing a softness to such a bold material," Hills added.

"Our design response was to ensure these element were not simply a façade treatment, but that they give the building an identity that can be read from all aspects."

The apartments feature natural stone and veneer timber panelling, as well as high-end finishes and Gaggenau appliances.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93042 project_image_fid=197037]

"The Hampton location was a key driver in the restrained coastal palette of the interiors," Hills noted.

"The natural timber tones and light stone treatment aims to play on the idea of what a coastal residence might feel like, with a light and bright atmospheric condition playing with the external greenery and bay views."

Hills said there was consideration that the spaces would be welcoming new residents who are shifting in furniture from family homes, so the size of the living space on offer was important.

Each apartment features&nbsp;balconies extending from the living areas, offering&nbsp;views of the bay. Light and space were&nbsp;critical elements in the design process of Soul Hampton.&nbsp;
